Is about four years between services and our liferaft is about seven years old.
To be honest, it'd been offloaded into the lock store to make space for the inflatable dinghy which I decided was much the more useful thing to carry
However, our friends Ian and Jo are taking their Sabre 27 Apogee over to France for a fortnight and for cross-channel and offshore sailing a liferaft is definitely a good idea
So three weeks ago it was packed up and shipped off for a service which has been completed, after chasing it up several times, in the nick of time
Meanwhile, the tragic event of the loss of a Moody 31 and the death of one of her crew after a collision off Harwich has me rethinking my decision not to routinely carry the raft
On its return from foreign parts we shall have to have a look at revising the stowage plan
It's a potentially dangerous world out there
