| Shore-based lunchtime at Home Wood on the north east shore of the Orwell |
The skipper's Mrs turned up today. Unfortunately, outboard woes from the previous trip have now become serious with no signs of life, not to mention a rather sore starting-cord shoulder at the time of writing. The outboard is now off the boat, ready to be taken to the menders.

Winds were strangely benign but with some odd gusts which pushed their way across the water from time to time. An incident of note was an upturned Wayfarer which was drifting dangerously close to the path of a ship on its way upstream to Ipswich, and which needed assistance from an attending RIB before righting.
At the end of the short sail, obviously without outboard assistance, Daisy II was left tied to the drying pontoon at Pin Mill, with outboard removed. It was jolly pleasant to have company today, though!

Hello from the USA, Julian. I'm looking to outfit a newly acquired LBC and wondered if you could tell me the source and product name of the hanging organizers shown in your photo captioned "Inside out - organized chaos ..." Appreciate any information you might be able to provide. Best regards, John M.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your message.
DeleteI think you must mean the 'Blue Performance' range of cabin and cockpit accessories. There are various outlets in the UK which sell them. I purchased mine from Piplers of Poole.http://www.piplers.co.uk/chandlery/general-chandlery/blue-performance-covers-awnings-and-accessories. I note Blue Performance has a website: blueperformance.com. On this, they list a number of distributors in the USA. I hope that is of help.
Kind regards,
Many thanks, Julian!
