Mud,Mud,Mud

Well here we are with Morlaix facing yet another year with the problem of Mud. It runs off the fields at the top of the river and gets into the marina and silts it up. So every year they have to pump it out so we can get out to sail. Here is the pump arriving with all the pipe work. The mud is pumped up to a field 2 kilometres away where the Mud and Water are seperated then the water is sent back to the marina and the mud is spread over the fields. One of the problems is bits of trees and bushes that come down the river and get stuck in the mud so as you can see now and then we have to remove them before thay get stuck in the rudder or prop. But its all part of the fun of the boating life and gives spectators a laugh.
