MFV BF494 'Pansy', an old Motor Fifie Conversion

good news (for me) the sill on the marina is bust, so low tide today the marina completely emptied, everyone sitting in the mud, but giving me an unbelievable opportunity to recover the lost tools

Bad News...... Some git had beat me to it, and to make matters worse had taken the good stuff and left the cheap stuff! so there in the mud is a cheap argos cordless drill... right next to a perfect impression in the mud of a bosch cordlesss drill. A cheap B&Q tenon saw sat next a perfect impression of a lovely old japanese backsaw

plus other tools shaped dents of the dewalt drill and the router

so of all the stuff that went in, got a 3 quid tenon saw, a chisel, black and decker jigsaw and an argos cordless drill. at least the argos drill was the one that still had the forstner bit in I was using on the deck

very odd seeing the marina empty though, the mud & silt is so soft, the boat had settled about 4' into it. only hope the suction is not so strong that it holds it there as the tide comes in

Only had the phone with me to take pics so not the best. Did what you just have to do in these situations and lobbed a brick in, resulting a definate 'Gloop' rather than 'Splat' as it sank

Everyone's pontoon berths temporarily converted to a mud berth

Her current forlorn look sorta suits the mud really

Very soft mud though, there's another 4' of boat under it somewhere
