Sorry wasn't able to get to the lake for the Warship Do, hopefully someone will send in a few pictures of the event and how we did on the Help 4 Heroes, side of the day. 

On the continuation of the duck saga as reported in the last couple of posts, the landing stage has been completely free of duck poo since the new edging and string duck deterrent system was put in place, though on Saturday when I went to the lake I met Eric Smith and we saw that there were a few ducks sat sunning themselves and Eric pointed out to me that they were Limbo dancing under the entrance gate and also under the string near to the boat box where it is a bit shallower  !.

Still clean though

Limboing under the string.

So the system is working for keeping the geese out, but needs a bit more tweaking for the ducks, possibly a bit of an extension on the gates and a few more strings (Net) on the rescue boat end hey.

Well its nice to go on the landing stage and not have to get out the ladle and brushes every time, 

Here is a picture of that Bloke who keeps coming to the landing stage with a camera and a small yapping dog, sailed today on the nice clean landing and after the clouds cleared away had a nice quiet lonely sail!.

So you see, I do have boats and have to add my own here when there's no one else there!.

That's it of now, see you at the lake!.

Saturday afternoon at the lake.
As promised in the last post here is the afternoon session.
In attendance was,

David Swift and John Glynn
David was sailing nice Fishing Boat and John was sailing a beautiful Smit Nederland which you can see from the closeup here is a fine looking model and sits great on the water, you get the feel that it really can pull a big ship in to dock!.
Shame we haven't got a big barge to tow round the lake with a couple of tugs , perhaps an idea,  place to store it perhaps is the problems hey!

Help for Hero's

One of our members Andy Quick has ask me to include this appeal on the website, as we already wholeheartedly support this charity at most of our shows and events I don't see why not!.

Andy Quick 8 April 18:40 Don't know if this is appropriate but I am asking anyway. I am acting as a support driver for three RAF pilots who are running 17 marathons in 17 days in honor of the 448 lads who lost their lives in Afghanistan. Do you think you could put a link to their charity on the blog and anywhere else you have access to. This is the link to site.                                                            Click here!. Thanks Andy Quick

Having read the link I think the three pilots doing the challenge are just as much Heros as the people they are doing it for!.

Peter.
