Only noticed the one boat launched from public slip today at Littlehampton. Looked like a fishing boat so probably use to going out all weathers.

Sun just about came out here - was still only 3 degrees C.

I finally got around to retrieving this from the attic. It must be at least 30 years old but seemed to pump up just fine and is actually in very good condition (has been stored in various garages and attics so no sunlight I guess). Now what engine to attach to it......

We were the only boat out in Torbay yesterday afternoon- and there was nothing but but 1 trawler out between Berry Head & Exmouth today.

Little -if any recreational point in being out in conditions like this as with such low air / sea temps in small-ish open boats.
