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.

August weekend (2012) - day 1

A sleepless morning after working last night led to a fairly early departure from home. As result, despite several pit stops for coffee etc, we arrived at Fambridge mid afternoon.

Launching the tender, we rowed down to the boat and in short order started up the noise machine and puttered up to the pontoon.

A gradual process of chat, shifting kit, coffee and snoozing eventually led to the pub for grub and a pint or three.

It's a very still night tonight. Full moon but nigh on 100% cloud cover.

Tomorrow we plan on having a training and exercise day. Much practising of getting on and off moorings, pontoons etc, fender overboard drills and so on

Meanwhile, it's a rum or scotch to taste nightcap and bed down in the cosy (thanks to the Campingaz radiant heater) cabin for the night
