Beautiful @Giles I will have to give them a look…
-
Yeah, as my eye-sight fails and I need to carry truckloads of shit (but, like not too much), I needed something that would work. @Kurt-faith came up with the goods…..
-
@Anesthetist We will have the bag that Giles posted along with a natural version and both in a smaller version photographed, detailed, and available on the website soon. Will update you as soon as we have all the details.

Today, we went to collect the tender. Next Monday we start our 5 day Day Skipper Theory course, @Madame Buttonfly took the opportunity to do some pre-course required swotting…..
The tender had to be partially deflated to get into the van, thank God I took the rear seats out of the van…..
-
Today, @Madame Buttonfly and I pumped up the rib, attached the outboard, started it (took me a little time until I found the fuel tap - in the end, Paula had to read the instruction manual, which as most men know, is a little bit cheaty), and took her to Pilgrim.
Here she is installed on the coach roof….

My husband is like a dog with two dicks!
We did have a lot of fun today, after some cursing and after the "how you use the outboard motor" manual had eventually been consulted ::)

@Madame:

Quite the visual… ???

@giles, I think I saw that boating hat on clearance on Sonder, maybe you could also get an employee discount and keep that noggin from getting sunburnt.
Looking stellar in the dingy, although i feel you were going a little fast for trolling.

This week is the hardest I have worked intellectually for over 40 years. But @Madame Buttonfly and I both passed. We have our 4 day practical on the boat booked for early July.
All I really want to do now is go to bed, but we have a party in London…..
On the train.....
