                Great news. Will the boat play any part in the 20th anniversary weekend? Show off the new skills

                    No, got far too much else to do that weekend….

                        I've created a monster.  Paula is on the phone to a friend, the half of the conversation I can hear is peppered with; Ferry Gliding, Prop Walk, Safe Place etc etc etc…..

                            Sounds like she is shaping up to become the real skipper  😉 Saw that determination in her eyes on the night run –-Go Paula !

                              @Madame Buttonfly and I took the boat out, for the first time on our own, today.

                              We motored to the fuel jetty, moored up and filled her with fuel, motored 10 miles east, anchored up, had lunch and returned home.

                              No Gelcoat lost…...

                              We'll take that....

                                  Thanks all for your good wishes - last week was pretty tough, especially the night passage, it was way past my bedtime and I struggled!  😃

                                  Going out on our own for the first time on Saturday was amazing, and I successfully "parked" Pilgrim on our return  😉
