Kingfisher 126

Thanks guys, had a good day taken for breakfast at Rockwater at Branksome Chine, looking over the bay very nice, flat calm and expected to see lots of boats about but only a couple on the patch. Then I had a few hours cleaning the boat down , getting rid of the winter growth as she’s out of the water. Power washer did the business. Then home for the kids and grandkids to visit, finished off with a takeaway with the outlaws. Cake but no beer, but a good day. 👍👍
