      With the coronation coming up, are you guys going to be open? Can you be open? Does it affect internet based businesses? Is everything closed including restaurants? Or does all of this really apply to London and everybody else does their own thing?

        It’s just another bank holiday, like today is. We are not open on bank holidays because UPS won’t collect.

          What, wait, there's a coronation coming up?

              Apparently you’re off on your boat somewhere in the Mediterranean drinking Mimosas and Bellinis and haven’t been watching the news… 😉

                Speaking of: picking up the boat next week?

                  We fly out to Menorca next Sunday. Then have until Friday to commission her and put 25 hours on the engines. Have a transmission oil change, and hopefully set off Saturday for Gibralter.....

                    Safe travels and have fun! If I recall correctly, you have a friend that’s helping you to bring it back?

                    Have you guys planned out the trip? Stops, ports, anchorages?

                          We do, Dieter who actually knows what to do. Between Mahon and Menorca, we will have @Madame-Buttonfly and me, Dieter and Chris, the UK Sasga broker. Chris sells us the boat in Gibraltar and then he gets off, to be replaced by Paula's sister Lisa and Bill her husband. Bill was in the Royal Navy in his youth and has fond memories of sailing back from Gibraltar to Portsmouth via the Bay of Biscay, so this is down memory laner for him (we'll make him helm the boat into Portsmouth). At some point @Alex will come and intercept us, probably somewhere in Portugal and stay for as long as he can, but he has to go to Japan in June, so he is time limited.....

                          We have a rough itinerary planned, but the weather and the sea-state will dictate what we actually do....

                            Not planned, but the boat yard may do something

                              Maybe something like this (from the web):
                              In China and Japan the christening and launching of the ship are also the birth of the ship. This is represented by a taut line between ship and shore, which is torn when launched. Symbolically, this is intended to represent the umbilical cord and thus the birth of the ship. If this connection is broken, a paper ball bursts, from which garlands and balloons rise.

                                          Do some UHFs fade more dramatically than others? I ask because I think I read somewhere on here that the Cookie Monster/IHSH-20 fades "fast" compared to other models?
