Slinky Kates 10th Birthday

[Norman]

Well, after arriving back in marina yesterday I was asked by my good friend and skipper of "Sea Dream" (a sister to Slinky Kate), "Will there be a video ?" ........
At that time there was no plans for one however after a little thought I suppose I just could find something special as a one off subject ......

Slinky Kate was delivered to me at Royal Quays Marina some 10 years ago on Monday of this week, so , I guess, it's her birthday

Got to admit she's served me and my crew well and is contnuing to do so. Of course the condition of Slinky Kate after 10 years at sea is due in the main to the hard work put in by all in keeping her in first class order.
Its only right that here and now I thank my crew over the past 10 years for all the effort to keep her this way ............... Thanks lads ....

A small tribute ..... to the crew
