Thanks for the video. Tomorrow I plan to strike out from Launceston to the Tamar river heads. In Tasmania this time! A distance of some 37 miles from the uppermost reaches of the estuary to where the Tamar empties itself into the. Bass Strait. 😊 cheers Chris.
You are so fortunate! My boat is sitting on its mooring and we've had a never ending series of force 8-10 SW winds. I've now not been able to get out for 3 weeks.
@@Morningvicar Hi Paul - I finally got out to the boat today and all was well except that BOTH rigging screws had come undone so there was nothing holding the mast side to side! Thankfully the mast looked fine. One screw was still complete so I re-fitted it, the other had lost its 'screw' so I made a temp repair with a lashing and I've ordered 2 new ones. Fortunately despite 2 force tens and numerous 8s and 9s there was no other damage and no water in the bilge, and the (inboard) engine started first time! I love my Shrimper!

A very charming little excursion. Very well-behaved wife!
Oh that part from 'retrieving a RIB' to 'parallel parking'... that's a copy of my life, I tell you. Thanks for that.
Lovely part of the country made for a Shrimper. Enjoyed watching cheers...
Many thanks for watching
Lovely to see you enjoying the wonderful river Tamar. I live in Callington,about 3 miles away and I’m often at Halton quay and Cotehele.
We had a lovely trip and hope to do more next year.
This brought back memories of a trip in my Wanderer from Cargreen to Morwellham Quay with the WCOA. A great place to explore.
That’s my target next year
This adventure shows how it is possible achieve your aims and involve the family too. great viewing.
Thanks for watching

This was earlier in the summer. We’ve been snatching day sails between the weather ever since.
