This was originally supposed to be a reunion weekend for the old festival sound and light team since we quit doing the festivals last year
However, since the only two members of the team who could be bothered to turn up (:-P) were me and Tony it's now two grumpy old geezers on a boat instead
We meet up at Brampton Hut and, despite a slight diversion on my part, mostly convoyed down to Fambridge in a reasonable time
Zipping out to our mooring in the new RIB was a pleasure compared to the old rigid tender and I soon had Erbas alongside the pontoon for the night
We had a run down of the systems as Tony hasn't been aboard before and then set about bending on the genoa (removed for the lift out) which went OK despite the breezy conditions
Then it was off to the pub for beer and food and more beer. Back aboard it was coffee and rum.
Forecast is a bit breezy with rain for starters so we'll not be rushing to get under way in the morning. A toddle downriver and a bit of a sail and then into Burnham for the night looks like being the plan

Glad you like the rib
