Plymouth
I was doing my usual scan through the ‘available boat spaces’ on yorkshire divers and came across a cancellation space for a three night liveaboard on MY Faithfull
The boat was booked by Nottingham University ….. not current students, but students who graduated years ago
I got quite a shock when I met them at the jetty
I arrived early and was asked, by the Skipper, to remain on shore until the boat was ready, so I was the first on the boat when I was finally allowed on board
FAITHFUL is a Scottish style converted fishing boat measuring almost 20 meters, it is heavily built of Larch on Oak and is powered by an 8 cylinder Gardner engine with a cruising speed of 8 knots
Below deck the accommodation has 3 cabins, one 6 berth, and two 2 berth, each with a wash basin and hot and cold fresh water. There is also a shower and a serparate toilet (sea head).
Above deck is the galley, toilet and lounge/dining area with colour TV, VCR and DVD and a selection of films. I watched most of the first episode of Big Brother while I was waiting for the others to arrive
