Sorry to hear about that Terry

Awesome stuff. Very very much looking forward to your blog. And thank you for your offer!

We just received a photo of Towser all ready to launch tomorrow. And it's warm, and the sun is shining and I'm boatless and rather green with envy... just a touch of relief present not to have to worry about a boat and all its systems as well as two children... but it doesn't make up for it :( Up to...

Hi Wook. We've had a similar (precisely the same) request posted on here within the last year IIRC. Perhaps Plymouth get you students to do the same thing each year. Anyway - the link you've posted is not working. Have another go at posting it and I for one will complete your survey. If you struggle...

Don't have a yacht at the moment but am intrigued by your proposition. What 'projects'?

'Delivery' 'projects' ?

Thanks T. We're anchored in the middle of the channel in that pic - about a mile North of the Saltash Pontoon. We did go there for shopping - and you're right about the hill!!

Here's the picture:

£400 pa. Can't complain at that! Hopefully they'll re-open the Spaniard there. Lovely spot.

We had a night at anchor just downstream from there not that long ago. Lovely view down to the bridges and Saltash - and quieter than you might think so close to Plymouth.

We had a mooring up at Weir Quay for a while. I really loved it up there. The mooring owners own home overlooks all of the buoys so I suspect security is not an issue there. Their price includes annual lift and store - and isn't cheap I don't think - but definitely cheaper than PYH on an annual basis.

Dartmouth is a good liveaboard at anchor location

1/3 = one third.

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.

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.

Great to hear you're still making the most of the boat Terry! Send our wishes to Val and the chaps.

February life as normal here on the whole. Lots of work on so busy busy busy... and then childcare (unless I'm sitting here posting on this forum pretending to work while my parents battle with Nina)... lalala.

When are you going back afloat Rob?
