G'day everyone,
It rained all last week and Cowell struck a king tide on Saturday - thought there was no hope of launching. On Sunday, with a bit of wind and a few showers we were still in with a chance. After lunch, had a break in the weather, so a few of us said, 'Yeh, why not? Let's do it'. I'm glad we did.
With 30 hp the Mushulu flew like the wind. Absolutely fantastic. The harbour was pretty rough and water looked murky, so being the first try I kept it in the break water just to see what it was like, she got up and planed beautifully. Quite a few of my parishioners came down to see the launching, we popped a bottle and sprinkled her with some bubbly, after the first run, they said it sat really well in the water and looked stable. I'm more than happy with the final product. It's a wonderful boat and I'm really surprised how well it went and how nice it goes in the water.
Yesterday, Liz and I took the M14 into a boat shop to have the HIN plate fixed, one of the staff walking past, stopped, looked, came over and said, "Gee, that's a nice rig mate, build that yourself, or did you buy it?". Say no more.
Thanks Mark for your input, your encouragement and expertise. Keep the designs coming. Now I can't wait until we get a nice break in the weather, give her a good run and finally catch some fish. It's been a great project from start to finish, and a beautiful boat indeed.
Until the next one, happy boat building.
regards
Mat.
