Following on from my recent post about the new Lowrance StructureScan I now have some more screenshots to show you. These are of a wreck lying 33m down in the English Channel off Brighton. The scans were taken at 8 knots in a moderate sea.

Lowrance SructureScan – Wreck Screenshots
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010 by RayLowrance HDS-10 and StructureScan
Monday, February 22nd, 2010 by Ray
During our annual maintenance we fitted a Lowrance HDS-10 high definition display allowing us to take advantage of the latest broadband fishfinding and StructureScan technology from Lowrance. The bad weather has prevented us getting out on any charter trips since fitting it all last week, but we did get a break in the weather for a few hours on Saturday which gave us the opportunity to run over a couple of small inshore wrecks near Brighton Marina, in depths of 17 to 20 metres.

Thursday, February 18th, 2010 by Mick
Well wouldn’t you just know it after several days in the tent at Brighton marina boat yard and some nice cold but dry weather the day we have to stand outside for the re-launch of Grey Viking the heavens opened and the wind blew, not unlike the day we took her out of the water when it was also freezing with big winds and snow.

Annual Maintenance Days 4 and 5
Saturday, February 13th, 2010 by Mick
Despite the changes that are happening with the boat the one thing that hasn’t changed is the weather. It is still freezing cold and taking some of the pleasure out of the work. But the work must go on so what’s been going on the last couple of days? Read the rest of this entry »
Annual Maintenance – Day 4
Thursday, February 11th, 2010 by Mick
Well we missed the snow that was forecast for last night so there was no excuse not to set off for the boat yard for another few hours of pain. We had sat last night and made a list of the jobs we wanted to get done today but once on site the list went straight out the window and we got on with jobs that could be done with frozen fingertips. Gee it was cold today! Read the rest of this entry »
Annual Maintenance – Day 3
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010 by Mick
Ok so the first thing to get on with today is finishing off the propellers and rudders then that’s one job that can be ticked off the list. I got on doing this while Ray continued to cut the gel coat. His aim for today is to get the whole of the grey cut and ready for polishing. Read the rest of this entry »
Annual Maintenance – Day 2
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010 by MickWell the work started in earnest today. We got down to the boat yard around 9am and decided that I would crack on with cleaning the rudders and the propellers and Ray would start cutting the gel coat whilst Steve was working on the sea cocks.
These pictures will show you what we were starting with… Read the rest of this entry »
Annual Maintenance – Day 1
Monday, February 8th, 2010 by Mick
Today was the day Grey Viking got lifted out of the water for her annual maintenance and it turned out to be a quite a morning. For some reason the weather fairy sent bitterly cold conditions and lashing of snow so by the time we had got the boat round to the other side of the marina, navigated the lock had the boat lifted and then pressure washed and moved into the tent (which took ages due to her height and resulted in a few heads being scratched) we were well and truly frozen and wet through.
