Dave, Monica and Jerry used Dave’s inflatable – they were exhausted pumping it up, before they got going. Andy, with his wading stick decided to go by the road – water still waist deep in places – and managed to fall into the gully on the bridge where the water was over his head…poor guy, he was very cold and very wet by the time he got to the club house!!! <\/strong>
<\/strong> 
In the meantime, Dave and Jerry had a leisurely paddle across the lake admiring the views with Monica sat in  the dinghy<\/strong>…….some mention was made of the African Queen!!! <\/strong>
<\/strong> <\/p>\n
\n
They moored up to the bottom of the club house and inspected the inside, still dry fortunately. But as a precaution against the water rising again, they emptied all the lower cupboards, put fridges, freezers, chairs etc all up on the tables.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong> <\/div>\n
The good news is that the water has subsided considerably, with only some 6″ of water in the red shed and thanks to Richard, Brian and Louise’s efforts on Saturday, everything was up on tressle tables and many of the floating boats secured.Thanks guys!!! <\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong> <\/div>\n
But the clubhouse is totally surrounded with water and only a bit of grass around the ‘Pirates’ meeting place log visible, with the depth of water through out the dinghy park ranging from knee to waist deep.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong> <\/div>\n
The SOOD Paul arrived to join two of his assistants, Monica and Andy, who were already there, but it was decided not to have a race!!!!! <\/strong><\/div>\n
Steve joined the gang and they all had coffee<\/strong> and admired the view.”…..water, water, everywhere and not a drop to drink…”<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong> <\/div>\n
They all went back along the road, the guys pulling the dinghy with her ‘lady ship’ sitting in the bow again – though she had to get out several times where the water level had dropped, but mostly it is still knee to thigh deep along the whole road.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong> <\/div>\n
Watch this space for details of THE BIG CLEAN UP, WHEN ALL HANDS ON DECK WILL DEFINITELY BE NEEDED….and further info, re Pink Xmas scheduled for next w\/end……?????<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong> <\/div>\n
The Jolly Sailor only got two photos of the gang, complaining that the camera packed up in the cold.  Now if only someone had got a picture of something other than 3 shifty looking blokes with a rubber inflatable…<\/strong><\/div>\n
