There is still a lot of work that needs doing, so I went along in the morning, and finished painting the transom that we had to abandon because of the rain yesterday. I tidied up a bit too, then folded up the ladder, and waited for the tide to come in so the yard could launch her.

She went in an hour late, as the yard's work-boat came across a small motor cruiser that was about to sink on its mooring. She'd been left there, ignored, for a couple of years, and there was at least six foot of kelp dangling off her hull. The time taken to haul her out safely meant that there was no time to take Robinetta to her own mooring so she was left on one right by the yard.

I had hoped to stay on board for a little to check whether she as taking up at all, but there was no time. She's in view of the yard though, so they won't let her sink!
