Under offer

We are home from cleaning and scubbing, and making good for Winter our wee home on the blue for another to share the sea on the good ship chortle. Here now home we raise toast to all who sail on her! Tears flow

Winterising cock pit seats

The screw go into epoxy bedded captive plugs. The last two pictures illustrate the starboard seat uses two slot head screws through a long wooden wedge to keep the forard end level. All clean and tickatyboo and stowed in the foxall for winter.

Motor sailing

Motor sailing down the sound of bute to our winter birth at Ardrossen. A little sullun at the idea we may well part with chortle soon. One last trip with the children next week and parhaps another before the winter haul out servicing and then for sale. We have had a lovely time with chortle safe and comfortable, but the family adventure horizons have widened and other alternative adventures await. I console myself that we may well return to sailing our own boat in a few years mean while i will enjoy sailing as a volenteer with the ocean youth trust scotland. Hopefully they survive the covid lock downs and there sailing program resumes next year.
