Graham and Carol started the renovation work on 29th March 1909, 2 days before work started on the Titanic. You can imagine the celebrations as she finally inched into the water yesterday afternoon! A few pics: Blythe Spirit stands ready, last in the boatyard to leave. Graham looking relaxed and confident, applying the finishing touches.

Party Time Graham's biggest smile of the day: Some videos to follow, when I get a chance. Oh, there's a surprise for you both on the Cruising map! Great fun, and really good to see her in the water. Thanks for the drinks and munchies!

Well done Martin, lovely posting. Havde to give it to Graham, after only ever motored the boat (indeed any boat) from Cambrian Marina to the YC in 2009, he did a great job of finally putting Blythe Spirit on to her mooring in somewhat windy conditions. Congratulations and welcome to C pontoon!
