Brigantia has been sold


Brigantia has been sold!

After giving us three years of fun and joy and looking after her novice crew, Brigantia went to pastures new in the Autumn of 2013. This blog remains as an archive of our activities on board.

Our new yacht, "Erbas" has her own Ships Log

May Cruise - Day 8

Leaving day.

Unloaded personal kit and some items of boat kit not required on board to car.
Motored back to mooring. Crew missed pick up but skipper was able to grab it on the way past!
Made fast and signalled for ferry ride back to pontoon.
Departed about 11:00

Issues arising:

It may be worth considering making the initial pick up on the mooring buoy from the stern when a lighter crew member is all that is available. It needs some beef to grab a buoy tail, haul it in and get it over the samson post.

It would also be preferable if we could contrive to leave the buoy tails on top of the buoy rather than trailing in the water in future - they get horribly gritty and weedy if not.
