Finally weather and tides allowed me to take Lady Emma out on a shake down run to check all is working with the new turbo and the engine services.
I'm pleased to report all was well.
Both engines happily went to WOT (Wide Open Throttle) at 3700rpm and on the return run once I remembered to lift the fenders
she slipped through the water very nicely.
We had to wait till I had a day off and a low spring tide during daylight hours to allow passage under the Great Yarmouth Bridges.
My Brother on deck keeping an eye on proceedings.
We have an airdraft of 10ft with our VHF whips and Navigation mast lowered.
At low water on a spring tide we had about 12" to spare and around 6" to spare on our return half an hour later....
We won't mention my Brother forgetting to put his life jacket on
After passing the bridges it was a right turn under Breydon lift bridge and on to Breydon Water which has no speed limits.
A few videos from the speed run..
At least the fenders got a wash on this run
The return run...Fenders stowed
After all that fun it was time to moor up outside the Acle Bridge Inn to take on much needed refreshments
Quick video of Lady Emma doing a slow pass outside the pub,
