Collecting Mochyn Du And Taking Her Home For Winter

It's with a bit of a heavy heart that we are taking Mochyn Du home, without so much as a sail this season.
She spent half of it being repaired and the other half I think we just had to focus on Lulu too much so she goes home having not even touched the water in the lake.

i always make sure the strap is long enough then do half hitches to stop the ratchet handle section from coming undone, good job you stopped while at the club.

Thanks for a great video. Another reminder of last years weather which was as you described. In fairness to our weather you should have mentioned the previous summer which was a scorcher with record heat and weeks of dry. For the benefit of you foreign chaps in the UK we do not have a climate just lots of weather. The weather shapes our national character we are pessimistic optimists: the weather has taught us that no matter how bad it is it will soon get better and equally we know no matter how good it is it will soon get worse.

Haha that's so well put. Yes I do remember that summer of 2022. That was a proper lovely summer but alas a distant memory!!

You make me laugh Dave, midges, minus 17 and 98 mph winds not to mention the rain. 😉

Hi Dave, just found your channel as I am attempting to buy myself a Mirror Sailboat (looks identical to yours) AND I also suffer with Gout. So you have been very informative and helpful thus far....looking forward to following your journey 😀

[@SailingWithDave]

Oh crikey!! I never thought the gout advice would be so useful but glad to be able to help. Plenty of water, watch your weight and try to not eat sugar. ESier than it sounds!!

No such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing 😂

[@SailingWithDave]

Haha, yes definitely learning that the hard way!!
