Granton Harbour

My gawd that was a long day. Too much really. Over to the boatyard at 7am to push trailers and boats about for the crane arrival and solidly working till 8pm.
Still, 41 lifts in total including 13 boats lifted with masts up (gosh! extra!) and all went well* - in fact we made up time during that stretch. So hopefully the harbourfuhrer’s ill will is back in its box. Didn’t stop me getting shouted at for taking photos, of course. I’d expect nothing less. 
And we had a new helper in the Bell Block serving food! Obviously she doesn’t want to do that as some sexist role thing, her being a feminist and that, but as she says, she’s not so good at hauling the heavy stuff about so in this small way she can help out. She just needs to realise that you don’t need to ask how people want their square sausage done. Medium rare? 


* though NJ fell off his ladder and cracked a rib; we had to summon the ambulance.
