I know this will not impress a lot of people, but today I had my first turn on the tiller since that fateful day 21st May When I decided to inspect my hull whilst passing it while falling into the dry dock.
The reason for this most epic of voyage’s all of 45 minutes was, I took Buggerlugs over for a pump out. On our new mooring we are sandwiched between two wide beam Eco Butties that allow me about 2ft space aft and stern so there is a lot of stern and bow movements to extradite me into clear water and then I have two complete 360ยบ turns all these were completed without contact with any other craft. I was so relieved to complete these manoeuvres and to find that after such a long lay off that I still could??
As I said not very exciting but after the traumatic injuries; to me it was one of the best feelings, for those who can remember it was like passing your driving test.
