On Saturday 17th April 2004, we launched Ian's boat, "Pride and Joy", down at Goodshelter. As usual, the weather started fine but as the tide rose to enable the boat to float off the trailer so came the rain.

Here are some photos (and a short video) taken with a Motorola A925 telephone -- one day we'll get a proper camera you know!

Here's the view through the back window of the Jeep just reversing the boat into position.

These are waiting for the tide to rise

This is an "mp4" video taken with the telephone and you may need a suitable player to view it. We use Apple's Quicktime to play mp4s under Windows or MacOs. If you get version 6.5 or newer you can also play 3gpp and 3gpp2 files -- the new Handheld Wireless format.

Here she is, floating and ready for the coming season's sailing
