Hi guys,

I was talking to Terry earlier about my dads boat and his boat, and I thought it would be nice to see if other people have their own real boat, or they are in some way connected to boating/ships.

Some general info like below would be nice:

Name of vessel:
Age/Year Built:
Vessel Type:
Engine Type:
How many knots produced:

and if you can a picture would be nice for us all to see

if you don't have one don't worry.

Here's my dads boat:

Name of vessel: Mary Elizabeth
Age/Year Built: 1980
Vessel Type: Colvic Watson
Engine Type: Saab inboard diseal
How many knots produced: 8 knots (depending on tide)

My dad has a boat, but it has been sitting in our garage for 4 years I believe

. All I know is that its name is imperial so I am hoping that one of you guys know all the other details. Every time we take it out on the water, it breaks. Once, we had to get towed from the middle of a bay, to the nearest dock

Would you be able to take a picture of it? maybe then we could get an idea of what sort of vessel she is.

I cant really take a picture of it because it is sitting in the garage and there is stuff all over, so you wont really be able to see most of it. Further more, I do not have a picture of it $:-\$ .

MY BOAT IS BACK IN THE WATER!

A little while ago, I posted a shot, saying "my boat is here", and DJM thought I was joking (at that time). I could see why he thought that, and I was teasing a little. The boat was exactly where I said it was (amongst 1,000 others). Since then, it had to be lifted out and some work done to teh hydraulic ram on the drive leg. But now it's back!

Here are some shots I took a few minutes ago.

The Captain · « **Reply #18 on:** June 19, 2008, 20:49:02 »

So, you live right on the water, so to speak huh

?

[RWP]DJM · « **Reply #19 on:** June 19, 2008, 21:10:08 »

Nice boat Terry

I remember that shot you posted last time, it was almost an aerial shot

Carl.

I live about 400 yards (metres) from the beach, here in Selsey, which at the eastern end of the Solent. My boat is about 5 miles away at Chichester Marina. I popped in to check that they had put her back in the water, as I came back from seing a client today.

Yep, the other shot was off Google Earth, I think.

Is the sound of the ocean suthing, or does it just get annoying. I am asking because for you, you have to hear the ocean every single day

.

TerryRussell · « **Reply #22 on:** June 19, 2008, 21:29:47 »

I've lived here for over 20 years. To be honest, I don't notice it any more, which is kind of a shame.

But most evenings I go for a walk around the village and along the sea wall. I hear it then. I can sit on a seat facing the sea and drift off... I find it very soothing.

The Captain · « **Reply #23 on:** June 19, 2008, 21:39:57 »

Ahh, that is the shame for people who do not live near the ocean. We have to go out to wherever and buy these casets of the jungle, or the ocean or theparking lot at work

I envy you Terry, I must make do with an "ocean-sounds" CD...
