so its been about a week since my last blog and my tan is worse than the pic in the last blog!
so we went sailing on friday. This is my boat Ctiron Press:
And this is mine and Joe's boat:
We do love our yellow boats, its different to all the white ones in the field. So i had to go put my boat together and Joe started putting our other one together, after that we got into our wetsuits (which btw was too hot... so we ended up going out in shorts and a rash vest... which is a first coz usually sailing in the UK the water's quite cold and its pretty windy).
Anyways we took my boat out since we've never taken her out before but it wasnt windy enuff and as the tide was coming in we wasnt going ne where so we came back in and took our big boat out, we got out to the middle of the river, going real fast and having lots of fun then all of a sudden there was a big "craaaccckkk" noise, Joe was danglin half way in the water and i just sat there shocked..... the rivets that hold the trampoline on all ripped off but 3 of them!!
So overall we had about 10 mins sail time all together this weekend and about 48 hrs fixing our big boat. We boat the boat about 2 yrs ago, and we've had nothing but trouble, 1st yr we had it there was a lot of wind in the UK and the boat nxt to ours wasnt tied down for the winter which it shood've been (asshole!) and he flipped over our boat sails diggin in the hulls making 3 large holes. it took about 8 months to get the guy to pay up coz of his bitch i mean his wife woodnt fess up and say it was their fault. we sent court papers and everything eventually he paid 400 to get it fixed. And so this yr we decided to stay in the UK to do lots of sailing and it decides to break whilst we were sailing it... hopefully we've fixed everything now.
We were thinking of selling her but we've enjoyed fixing her and now she should be in gd shape to go sail again and hopefully race at the end of the summer. We still need to re-paint her as the person who fixed the boat didnt paint the holes yellow so we've got big patches of grey with cheap yellow spray painted ontop so shes a bit patchy atm.
Me and Joe will need to raise 450 to get proper tires (so i dont hurt my back taking the trolly back onto shore when we launch our boat, as the one we've got now is super heavy!), new mast ball and rivets and a new wire pack just in case the ones we've got now snaps whilst we're out sailing.
I do have pictures but will need to re-size them on my laptop first.
