Well, here we are, . . . finally! December to mid April is a long time to be straining at the leash. Solent Warrior is afloat and looking 'as fit as a butchers dog'. Phase one of the re fit is complete, just? Great weekend in prospect, might be a bit bright? Who careas after 4 months of graft, all work and no play!!!!
Its time to play, I have got to service the engine, not been don for the previous 18 months whilst she laid idle. Very gratifying that, when she was re launched on Tuesday after the long lay up, she only needed one turn of the key to come to life! A couple of hours should see the a simple oil and filter change taken care of, then all the fishing gear, safety equipment loaded, excitement!!! Lock out, run down the river, blow the cobwebs away.
Sunday morning bright and early, its the serious business of fishing, hoping there are still some fish about? A nice sunny calm day, good company, loads of boat type brews! lovely, might even catch a fish:fishing: Here I am, 60 in a couple of months and I'm still as excited as a Birthday boy:roll1:
