Getting ship shape. by happypat

Getting ship shape.

My son in law & friend getting the boat ready for the summer, Garth is on the left.
They have a single boat & a double crew one so that if they both can't go up to the Lakes to sail the other can use the single crew boat.
Both boats are moored on Lake Coniston.
Completely the wrong sailing terms I would think ....sorry for anyone who knows different!!

This is a filler I'm afraid....I have been out today but forgot my camera & my little P&S I always had in my bag is broken.

Three good things:
1. A good hair cut.
2. I am not hungry after counting points all day!!!
3. Immersion heaters after Harry left the hot tap running & went outside!!!
Oh how lovely to have a boat especially at Coniston!! They look very intent! Oops, Harry!!!!!

@jesperani Yes they love it Jennifer ...my idea of hell, I hate water!!! Yes definitely oops Harry!!!!

All set for an idyllic summer.......hopefully!! i'm doing points too, same as you half a stone crept on this long old winter!!
April 9th, 2013  
@fannyb Exactly the same for me Fanny...my first day today but OK up to now...think I am still benefiting from my splurge yesterday!!!!
April 9th, 2013  
Now that looks like Spring! Not sure when we will be able to uncover our boats. Still ice on the lake!

How lovely ! Let's hope the weather continues to improve.

I'm a bit of a land lover myself but its a beautiful place to sail I would imagine.

Coniston sounds like the perfect place to have a boat. good for them
April 9th, 2013  
Oh if we were in shouting distance of Coniston I'd have a boat. Probably one with oars though! I was going to ask how you got on at WW - I want to lose half a stone but a friend told me that if you don't want to lose much you're allowed to eat about two crackers a day...I could start by giving up the choccy biscuits though....

@judithg I'm on 26 points per day & up yo now have found it OK. To be truthful I haven't found my diet today much different to normal but no chocolate tonight & it's early days yet. Must admit the thought of the weighing next week does spur you on....no backsliding!!! I think once you get into the mode it's such a relief not to feel guilty about eating too much it's almost pleasurable if you know what I mean!!

@judithg Still had my G&T tonight 3 points!!
April 9th, 2013  
I'm now in the position of envying you with your upcoming summer! Boating in this part of the land must be so beautiful! Its 2 degC outside at the moment here and we have the heater going!
April 9th, 2013  
About 2degC here too maggiemae but supposed to be coming warmer at the w/e!!! Hoping so much for a great summer!!!!

Weather looks good for getting the boat ready, but its still lacking a bit of water
April 9th, 2013  
Marvelous shot of the boat prep. Do you go sailing, Pat? Good work with your point counting. I've never done Weight Watchers, but I know lots of people that have had lots of success with it.
April 9th, 2013  
@happypat oh that's not bad - worth 3 points!! I do know what you mean - I lost a stone & a half three years ago & once I got into the swing it was easy - I need to find my willpower again just for a few days & then I'll be right....
April 9th, 2013  
a good choice of a filler Pat.....oooh err harry ...did you shout at him ????
April 9th, 2013  
@peggysirk Sailing me Peggy!!! The furthest away from the water the better I like it!!!!!!
April 9th, 2013  
@phil_howcroft I thought he had gone to sleep at first but no he had been outside, not sure how long but the water was stone cold!! B&B in too!!
April 9th, 2013  
Any sailing shot is good!!! It IS getting that time of year.
April 10th, 2013  
Looks like fun is going to be had
April 10th, 2013  
It is that time of the year to prepare for some warm weather fun
April 10th, 2013  
Mmm...and here they are putting the boats away
April 10th, 2013  
They look very intent with their job.
April 10th, 2013  
Neat catch......I suppose it's good that the water went straight down the plughole and tomo's pic is not of an indoor flood!
April 11th, 2013  
Very nice shot.
