Mooring and glove testing

It has been a really cold but quiet couple of weeks as far as wind is concerned. Today there's literally nothing blowing so the outboard is on and we go and find something to do on the lake!! It's still cold so I thought i'd test both pairs of gloves that I use to see which one is best (Links below). I don;t use the cheaper swim gloves much as they are super slippy and no good for holding onto lines. The Ora gloves, I originally bought for my RYA Powerboat Level 2 course and they're a nice pair of gloves. We then go and do some mooring practise on the Bala adventure centre jetty but have to be super careful in the shallow lake waters at the moment. There are rocks everywhere! Although I do faff about a bit, I decided to leave the whole video of the mooring in just to show you how easy it is to miss the jetty but also get back on track. I literally had only a few inches under the propeller so had to be really careful. We also try and work out what 2 new big yellow markers are for! 00:00 Breakfast! 00:26 What are these markers for!? 03:08 Testing my gloves 06:33 Checking out the other yellow marker 07:38 Mooring up in very shallow water 15:50 Casting off 18:08 A hercules aircraft overhead Glove links The cheap ones are from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07FJLV5S3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The Ora gloves are here: https://www.sailinggloves.co.uk/store/p6/Ora-winter-glove.html#/
