Weir Quay Boatyard

Good reminder from Marine Industry News

Beautiful mornings. Time to dream of Spring and think about those jobs before re-launch!

Flood tide morning light.

Last boats hauled out and settled for the winter.

Weir Quay goes to Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego.
Around a year ago Dan and Aisling left Weir Quay to begin a circumnavigation. After wintering Aisling in Uruguay Dan is off again tomorrow. Safe travels and all good wishes from all of us at Weir Quay Dan.

Moules Marinière, delicious.
Moules Marinière with Cream, Garlic and Parsley
Ingredients... 1¾kg (4lb) live mussels, cleaned 1 garlic clove, finely chopped 2 shallots, finely chopped 15g (½oz) butter 1 bouquet garni of parsley, thyme and bay leaves 100ml (3½fl oz) dry white wine 120ml (4 fl oz) double cream A handful of parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
Method If your mussels have not already been cleaned, you'll need to do this first. Watch this video guide from Rick Stein showing you how to do it.

Soften the garlic and shallots in the butter with the bouquet garni, in a large pan big enough to take all the mussels – it should only be half full. Add the mussels and wine, turn up the heat, then cover and steam them open in their own juices for 3-4 minutes, giving the pan a good shake every now and then.
Remove the bouquet garni, add the cream and parsley and remove from the heat. Spoon into 4 large warmed bowls and serve with lots of crusty bread.
BUT THEY DO SLOW YOU DOWN ON YOUR BOAT!

Re-launching in full swing, everyone enjoying the sun today...

High tide on a calm misty morning. Quite a contrast to last week.

In the bleak mid winter....

The end of a beautiful day.

All good wishes to Dan Stroud who sailed away from WQB last week on his great circumnavigation adventure.

Autumn morning. Hoping for some bright days before haul out begins.

Rainbow over Pentille, forecast is great for Pentillie Plays the River II on Sunday.

Remember that wonderful evening in April when we had the Pontoon launching Party?
Want to experience the magic of a River Concert again? Missed it first time round? Never mind, you can share the pleasure of a Pentillie Castle and Estate River Concert once more this Sunday, 17th September, when our pontoon will be back at Pentillie Castle and Estate for their Pentillie Plays the River II concert with the incredible Andy Quick Music and fantastic Echo Town in support.
... See you there!

Andy spotted this deer swimming in the River here at Weir Quay today. A lovely, unusual sight. Maybe someone has told it about Mad Dog Mcrea's gig at Pentillie Castle and Estate on Sunday! Not to be missed!
