MV Teal

I've blipped MV Tern, MV Swan and MV Swift  before but MV Teal is not usually moored up at Lakeside when I swim on a Friday morning. Teal has been brought down from Bowness and out of the water for her winter check over.   She is 84 years old and was built at the Vickers shipyard in Barrow. 
 And another bonus this morning  was a heavy rain shower ( I'm wet anyway) with an enormous rainbow -extra.  9.9°C water temperature this morning and yes I did ditch the wetsuit at the end for a quick swim in my cozzy - probably about 10 strokes,  to make sure I get that cold water benefit.
