Great weather on the Severn this weekend, resulting in much hovering despite the previously mentioned "issue" with the crank sensor.
First hover was Friday after work - ostensibly to check things out prior to taking out the lucky hover trip winners from the local village fete. Just a quick run out and back, about 10 or twelve miles, all without incident.
Next was Saturday morning, nice and early. I put the craft in the water ready for the hover trippers, got them all life-jacketed and safety briefed, and sat in the craft. Which would not start - but that story is already told, so I won't go over previous embarrasment. Anyway, the craft was fixed by lunchtime which of course required a suitable extended testing just to be sure all was OK for the hover winners.
Sunday morning my trippers arrived for the re-run, I already had the craft in the water and all checked out. Everyone was very pleased when the engine jumped into life to a big cheer from the young man and his grandma who where going out. We had a good trip of about an hour, then my young guest had to dissappear to football club or some such worthy thing! But his Dad had turned up and was keen for a run out as well, doesn't take much to persuade me so out we went for a couple more hours
Monday we had visitors so no hovering allowed - until said visitors decided that a hovercraft run would be fun, so that was a couple more trips out just to round off the weekend.
The classic weather continued today, sadly I had to go to work
Still, plenty of hovering was had so all good
