I’m heading out on the Severn next week from Upton on Severn Marina. A few local sib owners from Gloucester recommended it as a good stretch of river with an easy slipway, ideal to try out the new Boat 👍👍

Sadly not me. The Thames (less than a mile away) is still closed to leisure traffic and I've got too much to do around the house to justify a drive to the coast (100+ miles each way).

I may quit the decorating a bit later and mill around the boat in the garden. I still need to change the gearbox oil and inject fresh grease into the steering and tilt mechanisms.

It's a 1.8l 180hp beast.. that was about 40l of fuel.. so not that bad. Would be better if went slower..... can get about 65 miles out of 40l if I set the cruise control.. but that's boring!

Makes cost of running the 9.9 yam on sib feel free ... :)
