The Trust has use of a mooring off Yarmouth that we were to pick up, prepair supper then do some pilotage work before motoring Prolific back to Ocean Village after sunset.
Chris and I were asked to go forward to pick up the mooring, armed with the longest boat hook I've ever used Prolific was skilfully manoeuvred to the mooring where I was lucky to get the pickup buoy on first strike and brought the mooring line inboard.
