A very strange feeling.

Post by So_Sage_of_Lorne »

How strange it is not to own a boat.

All of a sudden, the sale of the old boat has completed and, the process of buying the replacement is to take a few days yet.

How odd it is not to worry about strong winds, antifouling and polishing top sides!

Yep,

I was in the self same situation this time last year..... it was great for a while.... and then I started spotting decent weather forecasts, and a sense of panic set in!

I got to the stage where I was offering to go and help other forumites with their winter jobs lists!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However, the good news is that upon purchasing the new boat, the sense of satisfaction was wonderful..... :D

Well, I can verify it as a true story. Even this week, Neil is offering to step into the Full Circle breach to aid launch. Top Bloke.

No, I was thinking that just as I scrolled down to your post.

He's a little fibber I thinks.
