Sad week this week. One of our moorers, John Wood, who was also a family friend, sadly passed away on Friday morning. It was something of a shock and the office was a very subdued place for the rest of the day. John has been with us since we opened and loved to do a bit of gardening here and there,
Well I lasted for a week and a half – then I got so mind numbingly bored at home (I'm not allowed to lift anything heavier than a kettle for ages – which leads to an interesting debate about "how heavy is a kettle"?) there was nothing for it but to head for the marina. I can't drive
I can't believe what fantastic weather we're having again (should I say that quietly so I don't jinx it?!) Not only has the sun been shining but we've hardly had any wind so the marina has looked like a mill pond. It's incredibly relaxing to be near the water when it's like that.

You'd think that this time of year might be our busiest but in actual fact as soon as the sun begins to shine the boats begin to move and things can actually get a bit quieter. To take advantage of this we nipped of to Devon for a week's family holiday. Family war might actually have been the
What a varied week I've had! It started off with a quiet day of accounts on Monday – I don't really mind bookeeping, apart from the fact all I ever seem to do is pay bills. Tuesday was a lovely day, spent catching up on bits of jobs and if I'm completely honest a bit of sitting around in
Great news! The swan has hatched 6 beautiful fluffy little cygnets and we have a couple of amazing photos taken by Mark Welton to mark the occasion. The rest of Overwater is bursting with spring and the island is looking amazing. I've had a couple of weeks off work to recover from some surgery and
