TOMMY LEE

Lesley lives on Tommy Lee, an aged (?1928) converted Thames tugboat, 32 tons.





She had decided she would live in Woodbridge rather than Melton, moving to the centre of the action! Would I run Tommy Lee down for her? Not half!







 
So off we went. Tommy Lee sits on the mud so we had to wait for the tide but needed to get away on the rising tide so that we arrived at her new mud berth before the tide started to fall. A fine bit of timing.


Only just missed a gaggle of freewater swimmers on the way. They forget that they can see us easily. To us they look like blobs of seaweed. Wish they would wear bright yellow caps. So easy for them to be sucked in and under by the prop.
