A good fx led to a meet of some of our past clients in wavelength training's unofficial cruising group. Launch from Knott End into the waters of morecambe bay
Didnt want to get m'legs wet!

the smallest boat Des with his 5m,ish Humber Ocean Pro and 60hp etec

and the biggest Glenn's 8m Humber Ocean Pro with 300hp suzuki
This one makes my other half a tad jealous-it was her boat for demonstration runs when we drove for humbers again at last years boat shows

destination Piel Island. In the channel between walney island and barrow in furness, two landmarks only a pub and a castle both in differing states of ruin! The castle was built by the abbot of furness to protect the chuch's trade routes to England from the isle of man and Ireland. We've seen the castle before, but we felt the need to visit the pub to check it was still there!

we jumped onboard this for a quick chat-sister ship to the ones daughter and myself skipper in the day jobs. Big jet guards out of the tail end - have to remember that they are there when in tight spaces

Let's try that again....

I never was the sharpest knife in the drawer
