Went along the river medway to the fort in grain, then up to the medway bridge, lovely day for it dead calm and sunny a little cold.but thats why we have dry suits.

And then the radar reflector fell apart and lost half the pieces

Went into garage to move stuff around to make room for the Tohatsu 20 due to arrive on Friday if no customs hold up at the docks (new stock for the dealer) Then scavenged my wood stock to make plans for an outboard stand on large casters - result I have plenty!
Why am I here - I should be in my boat fishing!!

Update - sat and sulked as customs are playing hardball and not cleared the container, no set date for release [emoji21]

Wrote a note said, 'back in a minute'. Bought a boat and I sailed off in it.

Boat or trailer? Found out the hydraulic surge brakes on our trailer weren't working on the last haul so I headed up to the storage area with the missus. Glad I took some tools and necessary items along. Master cylinder was bone dry. Inspected all around and did not see any leaks or corrosion. Bled the brakes. Pumped the MC and the brakes worked great. Inspected all around again and no sign of a leak. Might be very small. Family was asking to take the boat out this coming weekend so will hopefully get a chance soon to inspect it again.
