Frenchman’s Creek

We turned into Frenchmans Creek and then bumped the centaur into the creek - I dropped the anchor and then we took to the dinghy to travel as far up as the overhanging trees allowed us to go

    (e) A vessel of less than 7 m in length, when at anchor, not in or near a narrow channel, fairway or anchorage, or where other vessels normally navigate, shall not be required to exhibit the lights or shape prescribed in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Rule. You could argue this, your waterline is less than 7 Metres. ;-)

    I carry my Beddlingtons up the ladder on Kiwa whilst ashore.
    Billy only has 3 legs and this is the only time I can pick him up,He copes with his disability beyond belief.
    We are woken at first light,for toilet duties involves a well rehearsed scramble with shoes,leads ladders,and full bladders.
    Five am,and in our pyjamas,chasing after a pair of Bedlington terriers in a Suffolk field full of boats and rabbits.
    On the subject of dogs sailing,Rutland does not allow Dogs in the club premises,or afloat?

    I think that a dog on a boat is a real nuisance unless you are on a pontoon – however, Jill seems determined that Maggy is coming with us this summer.

    Re picture of Lilly M anchored at mouth of Frenchmans Creek, try searching on Google for Percy ‘Powder’ Thurburn (don’t you just love those old nicknames) Fascinating info about the marine artist and adventurer who ended up sailing his boat “Iron Duke” up Frenchmans Creek where I believe the hulk still rests. He and his partner bought the land, built a house and 20 years before his death in 1961 gifted it to the National Trust. I read all this whilst waiting in my GP’s surgery so it must be true!!
