I got this request for some pictures of the boatyard and my boat in its sorry winter state. Unfortunately, on the way there I decided to make a video instead, being, as alway, terribly inspired by Dylan Winter. However, I did not know that the camera's lense makes you look quite like a rabbit if you put it too near. That never happend to Dylan. Anyway, it's too late now and I will have to go through with this.
Getting into the yard wasn't easy as the lock had frozen. Expecting this I carried a small can of anti-freeze spray, which got me in, but did not entirely clear the lock on the inside so I wouldn't have gotten the key in if the door had slammed shut.
And here is the after-pic.
I did get out without trouble so I could take some more pics from the other side of the inlet.
Welcome to the Alacrity blog. The site entails lots of information about this type of sailboat as well as cruise reports and pictures and stories from more than 40 owners from most parts of the world.
Since I moved to the UK in 2010, I had to sell my boat and have since taken up dinghy sailing, now sailing a Topper and a GP 14 in my local sailing club on the river Ouse in York, and occasionally other places. I am, however, keeping this blog and will occasionally update it if I find any abandoned Alacrities during my travels in the country.

Bless you, Captain. (You sneezed) That was a fabulous video. Love the boat. I ended up having to put on a sweater.
It was a cough! Or a clearing of the throat rather. Thanks anyway. I might still have a career in television. HA HA.
