carlt Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Lucy is now no longer afloat, but safely ashore, at Tess Wharf. I'll try and post photos before Graham (Alnwick) bans me for mistaking him for Allan (Keeping Up)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try and post photos before Graham (Alnwick) bans me for mistaking him for Allan (Keeping Up)! You were easy to spot of course wearing an ostentatiously large white bandage on a poorly finger. I wonder how often before Tuckey's crew had to engage in crowd control as they did today at Tess Wharf? Thanks for the lift home Carl.

carlt Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Glad it all went well Pete and Carl Come along if you are free that weekend I will definitely try and get there. I've uploaded my photos to here: Clicky If anyone wants to use them, for any purpose (other than to laugh at me), they are welcome, though a credit would be nice.

I think we have all benefitted from your damaged finger Carl. That's a really nice photo record of the lift. Thank you. Richard I guess that if not injured you would have been rather more involved.

I don't think there would have been much I could have added to this text book example of planning and teamwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really depends on the money and fitting it in with real life, Hardy took 7 years but that was a floating restoration. I think Pete is, wisely going to spend the next few months measuring and assessing. before the rebuild (not restoration) even starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltysplash Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 By the way....If anyone decides to publish the photo of me and Pete posing awkwardly, I will hunt them down and feed them to the crayfish.

I am keeping that one for a suitable occasion - by the way, I was most impressed by the way you responded to Tim's request - reminded me of my schooldays when the headmaster wanted me to stand still for the school photographer . . .
