At long last

Finally after six weeks of being trapped on our mooring, the ice gave way and we could leave the berth for the first time this year. It was a little blowy to say the least but even that couldnt put us off in the end.

First stop the slipway. We had to beach Naughty-Cal so that Liam could fix the broken trim tab mountings, but after a steady half hours work they were refitted and ready for the maiden voyage of 2011.

The weather and the fishermen dictated we didnt get far, but a steady run towards Saxilby followed by an bout turn and a few swift ales in the Pyewipe with friends to celebrate the first of many happy hours afloat during 2011. Lets hope for some better weather along the way though.
