Sorry for the late video GG, but it is the canal and it’s sailing.
Real boats sailing today, no one lost their keys, no one ran aground, all rudders working correctly and everyone turned up on time……………………………….Just sayn
Kermit, I don’t think it a reef as such, just some big rocks.
And just to clarify something, the skipper of the yacht thought it would be safer to trust the self-steering gear rather than letting you steer? He’s a wise man.
Kermit, I have to agree with the honourable esteem young judge, GG
The forum title is “SATURDAY SAILING” under the heading “Sailing & Boating @ Lauderdale Canal 2026” (Created by Kermit)
I did not see much sailing, and I didn’t see the Lauderdale canal?
I also must point out the glaring errors in your video.
That wasn’t Droughty Point you were going around with the house, that’s “Tryworks Point”, “Droughty Point” is on the Eastern side of the peninsular (Spelt Droughty not Droughy) that can be seen from toad hall.
It was good to see that they didn’t let you on the helm, so no running aground.
Anyway, I won you lost……………………………..Just Sayn
Capt’n Pete, there is an old saying – If it’s not on video it didn’t happen.
Here is my video from today’s action at the canal,
Beside the opening title date, what’s a “Skip Boat”?
And I didn’t see any acknowledgement for the expert camera work done whilst you were rescuing you boat for the second time? …………..Just Askin
We had another perfect boating day at the canal. Warm, sunny, light breeze and a medium tide.
We had a bit of drama down our end, one of the boats shipped a bit of water over the stern which must have gotten into its receiver.
It then had a mind of its own and went into full reverse and dragged itself under. It stopped after a while and was pushed to the nearest shore for recovery.
And Kermit, I had nothing to do with it, my boat was in the car, and I was holding the camera…………………………………. Just sayn
Pretty good pick of the weather from Mike.
And not a bad video from the one-eyed frog.
Only thing is that comment about the owner’s son being a future “Top Gun Flight School” student – he already fly’s and lands better than you! (Plane is in one piece)
If you be nice to him, he might give you some tips.
Thank you GG.
It was good to see Kermit back sailing this week, it was a bit quite last week with no one to laugh at when he runs aground or breaks down.
A very pleasant day at the canal. The tide was a bit low, but this didn’t stop the Marine Modellers.
First Scotty tried a larger prop on his “King of Shaves” petrol powered beast, but this didn’t help, only broke the flex shaft.
Visited the sailors at the jetty and found Kermit’s boat doing circles in the middle of the canal. luckily Scotty called in and rescued him again.
He then tried to blame an innocent little kid watching on for breaking his boat, which turned out to be a flat battery. (And we all know how Kermit looks after his batteries)
Oh well, at least he didn’t run aground. (At least while we were there)
Here is my video from today,
