Hi all ......its been a quiet winter fot us .Spent a month around Christmas onboard . Good sailing weather ! Here's looking forward to a good sailing season ahead ! .......?Still enjoying your round Britain blogs fireman Jeff !!
.....very inspiring !

Rob let me know when you are down and I will give you the shower door code so you can use the super new showers /family rooms here .......till the end of the month .
PS The code changes every Monday

Are you still at the yacht haven quay ?

Hi Rob nice to hear from you ......at least someone is alive on here :lol: No specific plans just going where the wind takes us . No more Marina after end of May so come what may we will be moving on by then . You got any dates for your trip to Ireland and up north ? You never know you may see us on...

Just going to sea a fortnight ago .......tested the gearbox and bow thruster prior to casting of when the thruster sounded rough then just whirled like a disengaged starter motor :cry: Was craned out .......found the fwd bearing had disintegrated due to sea water ingress so new bearing ,lip seal and...

Never get tired of looking at your piccys Jeff I must know them all by now your round britain is an excellent guide to all going the same way ! Agree about Saltash pontoon . It's a pity they allow people to leave some rough old boats for weeks on what is a short stay mooring . Fair old steep climb u...

Hi jeff they are expensive their website states that they are half the price of the average Plymouth marina prices .......for a swinging mooring miles up,the Tamar !, :o We have finally decided and have settled for a swinging mooring at the Cargreen Yc for £400 PA. Lovely little club house and a fri...

Our Marina berth days are over .....£4.5k is a joke . Looks like a mooring at Saltash Sailing Club is on the cards . It's been all quiet on the Yealm possibility . Security was a worry at the Yealm cos it was a long way up the river ,past the houses into the woods. You has a mooring up the Tamar Rob...

We never wintered afloat at anchor. I'd like to give it a go someday. Would be tough! £1300. About 1/3 of the price of Yacht Haven I guess? And a much nicer place to be most of the time. 1/3 ? £4,600 renewal this year . It's becoming no,joke trying to run a shore home and a Berth in a marina . Anch...

Why not live at anchor like we did T? Using the Yealm as a bolt-hole when required, or for shore time boat parking? Very jealous that you've managed to secure a mooring in the Yealm!! We love it there. We will still be sort of liveaboards doing much the same as we are doing now but we enjoy the cre...

Things may change . Have put my name down for a swinging mooring up the Yealm .......seems I will get one in April!! So liveaboard may cease .
Will be ok to live onboard for a week or two I guess but other than that and of course cruising about we will be living ashore........... Maybe .

Just had a lovely week in Fowey . brilliant sunshine and windless days . Had Mixtow to ourselves ! Super trips up,to pub at Golant for lunch and walks to,the ferry pub . All in all an AWESOME week :lol: The joys of keeping the boat in all year...........as Jeff knows from his exploits . Sad to sad t...

'Awesome' Rob

It's just plain Awesome absolute awesome .

We are moving back onboard again tomorrow after a few weeks ashore and that is awesome .

I recognise that boat! I have followed it through the bridge at least a couple of times and I've seen it going up and down the Tamar. Nice little blog. :D Terry - any withdrawal symptoms yet from YBW :shaking2: ? Leo is/.was a lovely little boat . Often I had two boats refusing to sell Leo whilst h...
