The Launch
The Launch on June 7th 2012, after four years and £150,000, was performed with consummate ease by the Harbour Marine Services staff.
With eight foot draft we needed a good spring tide to float her off Southwold's slip. The last thing we needed was settled high pressure weather.
With these old boats, you have to see what they want to do and go with the flow. You soon get down the alphabet with your plans!
