This week at the lake, 16.9 2015.

Wednesday, saw Bob Abell and myself at the lake with his "Brutus" boat, a refit with two brush-less motors, I sailed it whilst Bob took the nice stills with his camera and then Bob sailed it whilst I took the video. 

Nice mover isn't it!.

Pepe was in Bob's camper with Lady Joyce whilst we were enjoying ourselves, then we all retired to the Andrew Arms round the corner for dinner.

Thursday at the lake saw a full TT team plus a few others ie

A nice little refurbished tug boat that had been bought on EBay!.
