  • STORRAR MARINE Newsletter October 2008 QUART in a PINT POT
    STORRAR MARINE Newsletter October 2008 QUART IN A PINT POT. Mid August I took a sneaky week off & chilled out on Peter & Anita’s Oyster 49. Holland & the Islemeer were our cruising ground, it’s probably the last time I will be invited as I never seemed to get either the stern or bow line looped over the mooring bollard when needed! Harbour master in one harbour actually gave me a standing ovation when after the sixth attempt I managed to lasso the damn thing. Having said that my skipper was remarkably calm on the occasion when with the wind up our chuff & Nimrod doing five knots under bare poles, three hundred metres before entering a large lock a large commercial barge started to get it all wrong & ‘lose its stern’. Yours truly standing by with stern line, “Don’t mess this one up” was all he said. The sight of the propeller on that barge thrashing round as they tried to straighten it up will stay etched in my memory for a long time! Pic shows Nimrod (forty nine feet long) in a fifty five foot space, I must confess this particular harbour master was superb, “Yes” he shouted above the howling wind, ‘no problem you will fit’ & we did. Talk about getting that quart in a pint pot, well done Pete. Not only was the haven meester spot on with his judgement, but to see him tie a bowline, one handed & he did it by JUST throwing the rope in the air! Late August saw me introduce my eldest daughter Kate’s boyfriend to the delights of dinghy sailing or was it dinghy swimming, ten metres off the shore of Derwent Reservoir on a breezy but sunny day we capsized (gear failure me thinks but the truth is operator error) suddenly he was swimming, fortunately I managed to make the centreboard & keep dry.
