A bit more running around over the Easter and found another boat but this one seems to have something looking over it :eek: I didn't get to send the drone down on any of them as my back is not great and I don't think it would handle 30 = 50 foot of anchor and chain
might have to look at getting a powered windless or find a fit young person to bring with me each trip

Weather was not great at the weekend so I stayed on the inner lakes and found another old yacht just off Temple island, back in the 1800's Lough Ree yacht club was divided into two political groups and one of them setup their clubhouse on the island where there are still some remains.

I haven't used it yet that is why I put in the windlass in my other post so I can just drop anchor at each wreck, I also need calm water and we haven't had much of that so far this year, hopefully summer will be along soon.

I also spent more time and money building her than she was worth it's more about the story than the money, sure I could have built another one but I had already done that challenge now I have a different challenge finding her and rebuilding her I thought I would have done it by now but I'm not writing the story she is

All these wrecks are really putting me off the idea of getting a boat.
Joking aside, would your boat still be in decent shape giving its been submerged? Assuming no big damage done.
Your guess is as good as mine The hardwood and all the metal fittings should be ok but the marine plywood might not stand up to being under water for so long, depending on how deep she is down the engine could be full of mussels but other than that should be an easy enough fix. :pac:
It's not been a great summer almost every weekend I get down the wind seems to be blowing too hard to get any searching done
We did get out to spread Kyle's ashes maybe he will point me in the right direction next time I'm out.
