Winter sail
« on: November 11, 2013, 06:03:37 pm »

On a cold crisp winters morning I set off to sail my steam launch Martha.
Changing the gas bottle after brewing up away she went,clouds of steam greeting the cool North East air.
After 20, minutes sail I had to think this was as good as it gets.

Amazing what a cold morning does to enhance steam effects, I found using my gas/steam powered garden railway train on a winters day makes for some lovely photos!
The lake at Roker is looking good still, must be about 8 years or so since I have been there, when one of my toy boats (when I was a kid!) got stuck in some underwater weeds in the middle! Some kind chap with a Yacht had some rope and helped to free it off!
Cheers,
Steven
