            So necessity being the mother of invention, I got the zip ties out and bodged a temporary solution with the help of the gangway which we will not use on this trip...

            Did a proper job this week....

              With it being so hot and dry, do you two find yourself spending more time on the boat and/or around the water?

              There was a picture yesterday of a jeans release where the football pitch look extremely dry. Is it that bad all over Gosport/Portsmouth?
