Felixstowe to Snape Cruise April 29th

[Under the Thumb]

We are going for a cruise to Snape Maltings for lunch on Saturday 29th April.

Anyone interested in Exploring a bit of the Suffollk coast and the rivers Ore and Alde will be more than welcome to come along.

The Rough Plan:

Launch at Felixstowe Ferry slipway (£10 for the day) or meet us on the way out of the Deben about 11:30 ish

Cruise up the coast into the river Ore, quick blast in the ski areas, look at the birds and arrive at Snape Maltings for lunch in the Plough and Sail Pub.

High water at snape is 15.25 and its springs so there will be lots of time for lunch and to look round the maltings galleries etc. www.snapemaltings.co.uk/

Return to Felixstowe via Aldeburgh Yacht club for a beer and another play in the sea.

Everyone welcome, Please PM me if you would like to join us.

I,ll be going out for the first time this season from Levington this saturday .I would like to join you on 26th but will only know nearer the time. I had a full service done almost 300 quid the day i parked the boat up for the winter wHilst checking things over getting ready for the new season found nut on stearing half undone and also gearbox oil has been dripping onto the grass the dealers macanic didnt tighten up drain screw and nut was not finish been done after being removed to gain access to a grease nipple

[CJL]

check the steering!!!

The MAIB report in to the rib accident on Loch Lomond said the steering had been dripping for months then it was used with very little fluid and gave up the ghost, threw the boat into a hard turn, throwing the passengers out the boat.

Try your local Pirtek dealer, they are hydraulic specialists and will be happy to help for less cash than a marine place! Try here

I might be up for this; in Norfolk at the moment for Easter so it's not toooooo far to drive. Have to see though; not sure if the rib will be ready by then.

[CJL]

I will have space on board for the boatless out there.
