Out she comes......

After around 1000 miles travelled in 2016 and with no breakdowns or mechanical faults, Wye Invader Two is now on hard standing for the Winter.

























First job is a hull clean and repaint then the addition of navigation lights and I'm sure other little jobs will come to mind!
