The trickiest item to get on-board was the liferaft, which I have hired for the trip. Expensive for sure but at least it keeps my mum happy!
It is very heavy and tricky to handle. I managed to rig up a pulley system and laboriously lifted it into place. Being a typical man, I was not going to ask anyone for help, despite the marina being packed with helpful souls !
Now you might wonder, if it so heavy, how would I ever launch it if the boat was sinking. Well, believe me, if I was scared enough, then finding the strength to lift a liferaft would not be a problem!
