Catch-up

On the pontoon at Fleetwood

This first post is a catch-up on 2013 to date.  You can read about the broader history of SIRENA IV and her co-skippers Lesley Curwen and Nic Vine by clicking here.

Jan & Feb were horrible weather, we didn't even manage to visit the boat as she huddled in Fleetwood Marina (Fleetwood Dock, Lancashire) - safer in the water we figured, having winterised her and left a dehumidifier running.  The staff at Fleetwood are very friendy and helpful and do a brilliant job managing the yachts.

Building the cradle

Lift out was 7 Mar, after oil changes, and launch was 23 Apr after various service, repair and improvement actions, helped by Bruno and Denno at Compass Marine in Garstang.  More fierce cold weather, and she quivered in her cradle.
Now we are furiously packing in Greenwich ready for the big trip.
