Hi Nick,

We are both well thank you as I trust you and Lisa are.

I will re-read your comments and try to digest them and work out some new manoeuvres.
The thought of 4 to 5 knots, astern in Ryde harbour is a bit scary 🙂

We did fit a bow thruster which has helped a lot and moving to Gosport
has made docking simpler. However the thruster packed up later in the season
so doing it the hard way is still relevant.

I also think a mid deck cleat would help as we could tie up to that with a spring
and motor against it to push the bows in, when they get blown off.

Busy stripping out the rear cabin and windows so the mid cleats will have to wait for now!

We are going to the AGM in a couple of weeks. Perhaps see you there?

Best Regards, Steve
