| Moonshine. S.Y.B.C |
We visited South Yorkshire Boat Club again on Friday evening. The original plan was to spend the evening at Pollington and then move up to the club on Saturday morning, but due to the heavy rain that was forecast for Saturday we decided to go straight there. Once at the club Moonshine moored in her regular spot near the club entrance.

| Crambeck. S.Y.B.C |
The purpose for this weekends visit was to help change the engine oil on Peter's dads boat Crambeck. His dad is a full time carer now for Peter's elderly mother, and finds it difficult finding the time to do jobs such as this. His dad plans on taking Crambeck to Amble, Northumberland in July with one of his friends (another club member) as crew, and Crambeck needs to be maintained to a sea worthy standard.

The weather this past week has been warm, sunny with little wind. Unfortunately the weather gods always have their wicked way at the weekend, as this and last weekend has shown. Windy last weekend, but wet this weekend. Even the hounds had to wear their Hurtta raincoats on their walk to Whitley Lock on Saturday morning. Thankfully it wasn't too much of a wash out considering the club held a Flag Officers bbq event on Saturday evening. An enjoyable weekend was had by all and catching up with old friends we didn't expect to see was an added bonus.
Next weekend we plan on another tidal trip to Hull, however this is all dependant on Peter's standby work commitments on Friday into Saturday morning...if it's not the weather spoiling it then I am sure something else will.
