So today saw me pulling 5 boats out the water - a Birchwood 25 was first up, followed by a pair of Elysian 27’s…..  You can’t easily see ex Mouse Vanguard in this shot but I can assure you she’s behind my old girl 😎 A Project 31 followed by a Princess 32 and the day is done. Imagine my surprise to find some piss taking git has moved his boat onto my vacant mooring - knowing full well he won’t need to move for months on end - he has the inside line I’ve got plenty of work to do before the first swallow makes an appearance 🤦♂️  Boaters eh? Piss takers the lot of em 😂😎 |

I’ve been a little disingenuous 🤭  i.postimg.cc/7ZNH0LB5/2187413-B-5649-4564-BCE9-24-FD0-F42451-B.jpgThe eagle eyed among you will have spotted it’s my very good friends Ormelite Northern Star, he is using my mooring fir the winter - we have some flood protection works to do to his mooring - he only took it on late summer ( scaffold poles and riser rings to go in)along with constructing a solar panel mount. It made sense to stick him on mine so we could be sure he was safe should we get any big floods - gives us a bit of breathing space to get it done while I’m on the hard 👍 |

is that a completely new cabin gazza or just incredibly well refurbished ..... I wouldn't have recognised it as an Orme in that first picture the rubbing bands and the foredeck give it away in the second shot (I'm also quicker at spotting the centre cockpit Wanderer series) |

The planning bods from the council have told him he has to take everything on the mooring down his moving pontoon for his 4 boats has to go all he can have is pegs in the bank!!!!!! They are barking and as he and all his fellow moorers own the land, its heading for court, the reason for this change? It doesnt look pretty, he has a suspicion its driven by a big marina that fancies the place for an extension maybe but cant prove it. The worst is you really cant see the works because these are big ex working boats that for the most hide everything, I honestly think the world has gone mad with some councils |
