No, just that I really really screwed up this time last year - to everyone's amusement - except my wife's. Hopefully back in 2 weeks. Will be trialling her (boat not wife) then. Love to meet up

Hi

We'd be up for a trip around the island at any time (except this weekend!)

Iain and Rosie

Nothing serious. The throttle started to seize up after running her to mudeford on her first trip post annual / warranty service, and since there appears to be some air in the hydraulic sterring as well, I decided having chatted to Kevin to return her to the Hanger for a sort out!

Just to emphasise, Kevin / Fairweather Marine did a brilliant job on the annual / warranty service. There was no implied criticism in my earlier post. It is just that she is a boat, and things go wrong on boats {!!}, and I am not an expert so I let the experts sort her out so she is really 110% for the Season.
