That went quick

Departed Bradwell for West Mersea yesterday, ready to be lifted out and layed up in Peter Clarke's yard for the winter. Back to completing the many jobs I didn't get around to doing last year. I'm really pleased with the old girl, she performs really well. Time to plan the longer trips for next season, from the sofa, in front of the fire.

Contemplating looking for a new mooring next season, as swmbo wants somewhere with a few more facilities, so we will see!
