What a day.....

It's been a strange day today, first off it was more rigging ropes ready for the big move, then a nervous feeling devolving in my stomach! The time had come to finally move the boat to its new mooring over 7 boats up stream. The nerves soon disappeared when we unhooked the mooring line and the bow started drifting out. Panic! The stern was stuck in the mud. Push push push, and then all of a sudden she let loose, all be it the wrong way round but we where making way. The original plan was to go stern facing upstream but it suited better in the end going the other way. So with the help of 6 people and me we managed to pull her all the way up with little trouble, RESULT! And she is sitting beautifully in her new position and access is a lot easier. Now all the rubbish and scrap can be off loaded. The real work can start now, so watch this space.
Also learnt a bit about mooring lines and Tying up today.
A massive thank you to ken, Euan, Claire, Simon, Mark, Joce and Paul for all the help they provided today. Couldn't of done it without you.
