Carl, after all your troubles and tribulations I am delighted to hear such good news about Lucy.
I hope, like other forum members, that we will be able to see progress photos of Lucy's restoration.
And the sun shined today as well so hopefully you had a really great weekend on the lifeboat!

That's good news. It's always a bit sad passing those two boats so great news one at least is going to be saved. I guess it is going ot be quite a while before we see here in new form.

A framework of girders is taking shape on the 'hard' by the Turn at the moment, which I assume is Lucy's supporting cradle coming together?

We came past Usk & Lucy today. Both are in the same place and in the same condition that they were in when we saw them last year. Is there any more news?

Considering that, this time last year Usk was tarped with a liveaboard conversion underneath I suspect it has deteriorated somewhat. She's also moved forward, by about 40'.
If you read this thread you'll get the update.

Yes it is. I'm not sure when she'll be lifted out, exactly, because holidays are occurring.
I understand she is to be lifted at the marina and driven the short distance to Pete's yard, between Midland Swindlers and Tony Redshaw's.

Very interesting Tim.
However I do think if someone is going to lift and re-use somebody else's photographs, then the least they should do is to acknowledge the original photographer.
The last one on the page is mine, but another is from a slide that I had borrowed, and the photographer might be surprised to see his work turning up elsewhere.
If I use someone else's picture, I'm very careful to say that I have.

I don't think he did, I think he just supplied a link to another web site
