BOATING BLUES

We have had a wonderful week off on the boat - lots of parties and drinking!
We sailed to Liverpool on Bank holiday monday - which was fabulous - but unfortunately the boat broke!!!! One engine started to vibrate widely and had to be switched off - at this point we were at the entrance to the mersey and had only an hour to make it to Brunswick dock for the last lock in! Bit worrying stuck in the Mersey with all the big shipping! But we made it and had a fab time. So we limped back to conwy at 6 knots which took us eight hours! Yacht speed!
The boat was lifted out of the water yesterday and its not good news - the engine has to come out and we may be grounded for sometime - wooo - not happy! But at least we can still go down and stay on her and bum a lift on someone elses boat for a trip out!!

Sorry Cant download any pics - computer wont find my iphone!!!! will try and sort it out.
