Shake down
Well the day has arrived to leave Titchmarsh Marina
the crew Dell ,Alan and Steve all ready to leave ,and head towards
The Pier at Harwich . , as we
need to leave on low water on Thursday around 0200 hrs. The sun was out and the wind was around 12 to 15 so we had a
good sail out to Rough Towers , the boat was flying along. We were checking the reefing procedure and found that
there were some lines on round the wrong way , so these were corrected and then
the support for the Vang broke , a quick call to Fox’s , and a call
to David Butt on his mobile, he asked us to take a picture of the broken
part .and send it to him and he said he would ring us back in 10 mins. When he
rang back he said if we met him at Shotley Holding pontoon he would fit the
part for us , he was there to take our line and completed the job in around the
hour. Well and a big thank you to Fox’s. |
