Today was a big day for the Glenisland Coop, we lifted all the boats out of the lake. As many members as we could muster gathered at 3pm and amid heavy showers we rowed the boats to the bank, dragged them to the shed or the space behind it and turned the boats over. Heavy, back breaking work but a job that has to be done. Being part of an angling club means that you enjoy access to the fishing but also you need to pull your weight when the hard work needs to be done. Today was made easier by the jovial atmosphere and the willingness of everyone to ‘muck in’ and get the job done. All the boats are safely ashore now and the ones for varnishing are in the boat shed. Thanks to everyone who helped out today, it was a great team effort. Here are some photos of the day.

Ah, the end-of-season boat lift—a bittersweet ritual for boating enthusiasts. As we bid farewell to another season of adventures on the water, the lift becomes a symbolic gesture of safeguarding our vessels until the next maritime escapade. It’s a moment of reflection, gratitude for the memories made, and anticipation for the journeys that lie ahead. Here’s to a smooth lift, a well-deserved rest for our boats, and the promise of new nautical horizons in the seasons to come!https://iqboatlifts.com/

Yes, the end of season boat lift is as much a ritual as a practical necessity. That gathering on the shore swapping tales of the past season and working as a team to hustle the boats out of the water. Not long now until we reverse the process and drag those unwilling craft back to the cold water in readiness for the coming season.
