Saturday Seagull

I don't normally repost other people's pics but this just made me grin and reminisce.
On the eveniing befoer our departure from Las Palmas, dressed for dinner we dropped into the dinghy, opened the fuel tap which just fell apart, petrol pouring into the dinghy. A quick fix with blue tac was affected and off we went. 

With no real spares we carried on with various ad hoc repairs up the Gambia river, then Barbados, Trinidad and Grenada where the engine eventually siezed going across Prickly Bay. 

Of course it could all have been down to our negliect and uncaring ownership, but I'm still firmly in the camp that thinks they make rather better anchors than outboards - with apologies to those who love em.

  1. I couldn’t agree more. Seagulls are not worth the space they take up on board.

  2. I learnt to strip and rebuild a Seagull as a child/ young teenager, a very valuable seamanship and life lesson. I probably wouldn't have done it without being a member of the local sea scouts.
