Spring watch

[treddieafloat]

Just spotted a hireboat left 'moored' at a water point first of the season. Yesterday rocked by a greater spotted speed numpty, some sort of courtship ritual creating waves I think. It must be spring. Any other interesting sightings out there?

Just spotted.

The first moaning about hire boats thread of the season.

Not a moan attempt at humour. If cant laugh I might as well get off cut til autumn and save myself a lot of stress

marina carpark is fuller than usual with people I have never seen before ( only been here 3 months ) so these must be the summer pleasure boaters emerging from hibernation to dust off their pride and joys for cruises to come ... alas some poor neglected boats still seem abandoned by their owners and sit forlorn swinging on their mooring ropes ... hoping that maybe this year their neglectful owners will re home them ..

I hate March. Comes in like a lion & goes out like a polar bear. And I get a year older. Bah!

Saw our first Canaltime yesterday

Does that count?

Hire boats and lambs appear at the time I like to see lambs

[Shreck]

I have just started to assemble my stock of non perishable food for the boat. No, not for the boat, its for me. The boat only drinks petrol.

 

My neighbours will really know its Spring when I wind up my outboard in a dustbin in my back garden.

 

Just looked in the cockpit, shuddered at the work I need to do in there and shoved off to the pub.

 

Looking forward to my first trip this year which will be on the Great Ouse.
