Thanks again Tynebuoy another great picture as I usually spend most of my time taking pictures of other peoples boats.

That's Trekkaway another Colvic Watson rafted up along side Caer Urfa but an older and larger one, infact we have six Colvic Watson motor sailers at Royal Quays Marina of various sizes.

Again if you 'or anyone else' wants a trip out just drop me your e-mail address via the PM and I will let you know, last weekend it was that calm and no wind I just dropped anchor at the Herd sands, great spot for shipspotting but I do not normaly anchor there due to the swell.

Saturdays weather looks good (at present) so will go out to sea, so if you want a trip let me know!
