      Enjoyed that video.  Cool to get a feel for the layout.  Looks spacious.  Fingers crossed for a smooth sale.

              She's being pulled out of the water on the 17th for the survey. I'll be there to record it all….

                    Today, @The Crew and I went to look at Pilgrim.

                    We fucking loved her.  Perhaps the most immaculate not-new boat I have ever stepped foot on.

                    I shook on the deal with the current owner, Paula did a side deal for the 4 sets of specially made bed linen, we arranged for her to be lifted out for a survey next week.  If that goes well, and frankly I'll be amazed if she does not pass with flying colours, the boat is ours….

                    Celebratory lunch was had here, seemed appropriate….

                      On another point.  We were discussing renaming her on the way to the viewing.  We'll likely keep Pilgrim in the short term, but have decided upon a name if we do rename her, or get a Nordy.

                      Andrew a  really good friend, of ours, is currently near end-of-life, He had a boat called "Last Call" (yes he enjoyed a drink or two), which I crewed for him once when he took it over to France.

                      He had really wanted to name her "Far Call", but his wife vetoed it, saying that it was just too rude.

                      Paula and I have decided that it would be nice to use the name "Far Call", as a tribute to Andrew, and because, well it seems appropriate for me…..

                                "Far Call" is absolutely genius.

                                  You look perfectly at home.  Looking forward to a booze cruise in September.

                                    Not sure about that.  But, because of the paucity of accommodation in Gosport, a few may be sleeping on her….

                                      The boat? Or Paula?

                                      Either way, as an expert on Nordic tugs, I can say Far Call is a real beauty. Congratulations to you both.
