launch goes well

Well Mark and I launched the boat at high tide this morning around 0830, it was great of him to give me a hand as he has just finished 7 nightshifts in a row, the first time we did it we didnt have much of a clue about rigging her and the mast had to come down a couple of times before we got it right but this time only took an hour or so to get everything shipshape. Its a shame Mark is heading back to Australia but I can understand why.

They have given me a cosy wee berth right in the corner of the marina which is as sheltered as it gets and really handy, the marina has a secure car park and is flash card entry onto the pontoons so should be secure against theft.
