Alan King was a young lad back in the Fifties, playing on the beach or taking trips out to sea on me. His dad was LAURIE KING and he was my Skipper in the late forties and early fifties. He remembers my Sonny and how he kept an eye on him whilst his dad was doing the...

Just slumbering away here in my dry dock but had to wish my Skipper NODDY a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY and hope 2015 is a good year for him xx Wasn't he a blonde cutie pie, now he's a silver fox.

Seems a while since I had anything to say on my blog. The tides haven't been in my favour so I've had enforced rests in my mud berth at Downs Road. When they have been more favourable, then I've done a few trips and also a Two Island cruise but because no one seems t...

Well I've had a few days of chillaxing in my berth and I'm now anxious to get going again. Because of the tides, I can only fit one trip in tomorrow but hopefully, with the sun shining, there will be lots of people milling around on the Prom and some will be queueing...

Something's been wrong with my plumbing for a while, I know cos I've been hearing the Missus telling him several times but he didn't seem to be taking her seriously. Well of all the days, I'd not had my beauty sle...

I hope that you have had an enjoyable weekend with the bonus of some sunshine. I had a busy Friday, working from my Jetty and then the family loaded me up and took me to Mersea Island.
It's not quite the same sleeping on a different berth and I found it a tad noisy a...

Not brilliant sunshine but a dry and warm day. My public awaited me and I managed to troop up and down the Blackwater three times before being put back in my berth.
I'm working from the Jetty tomorrow then I'm taking the family down to Mersea Island so that they can m...

Mmmn that's better, some welcomed sunshine.
I was spruced up today, given my usual rub down and off I set to the Jetty to see how many of my admirers were waiting to come for a trip aboard me.
I was very honoured as several had turned out to greet me and I managed to t...
