So long Mike

We said our final goodbye to 'Captain' Mike Tarry on Saturday evening on his beloved Lake Ullswater. His ashes were scattered from the 'Maid of the Lake' at about 19.00 as per his wishes. Individual flowers were dropped into the lake by each of us. RIP old friend.

Re: Mystery Finned marine ply speedboat restoration
