Goodbyes....

Well - first it was GleeMaiden that hauled up her anchor and left next door. Her crew going landside with their new home, and leaving 17w1 just as it was when K2 moved in 2 years ago now. Both boats had spent 18 months moored together, and it was a shame to see her go. But today, it was an epic change. Khayamanzi left Brinklow for good, under the command of someone other than my brother, as he too, moved landside into a lovely house locally.
So a day moving boxes for him, and realising that when you move from a boat to a house - you have no furniture!
Hopefully Captain Andy and Simba, enjoy their new lives, and I move up to Admiral of the Edwards fleet - although it's been depleted slightly....

Stretch her legs -

Well the sea ones in any case!! After a winter of inactivity, due to too much work and not enough play, K2 finally got to poke her nose out of the marina, and blew all the cobwebs off!

the winter took its toll though - not winterised at all, as last year we used her all year round, the central heating failed, the starter battery failed, and it took a bit to get her running and warm again. Plus all that cleaning and dusting, to clear the insides - not to mention out of date food that needed throwing out!!

Still, the dogs had a great time - and took up their residence on the tug deck without a fuss!!

The weather was fantastic, and a really relaxing time was had, - plus I painted the blacking on the hull - pictures to follow!! wait for it....
