Giles and Paula's Great Retirement Adventure

[Giles]

We have not got that one yet.  There's a catamaran in it, which should have moved, but hasn't.  So they have given us temporarily, a nice, easy access finger which we go bow or stern into.  I actually find parallel parking easier, and that is one of my concerns about the permanent berth, I'll get used to doing what I find easy and not be challenged.  But as @Ian72 told me, just pretend it's a finger….

To be fair Giles (not often I say that  ??? ). It was not exactly the easiest park, I was being a bit mean pushing you to do it 

More practice when you get back

You bet, and I hope that when I do get back, Paula will be better than me

While the cats away…

Pilgrim comes up trumps again.

Have just sold her to a couple who are happy to wait until March/April 2023 to take delivery, for effectively what we paid for her.

They are ecstatically excited and a cash-flow blip for us has been avoided.

No broker, so no 8% commission to piss away either.

14 months use, no depreciation, what a gal.

Well negotiated.  Congratulations.  Also, the upcoming larger boat is just gorgeous.  Great that you will be able to develop your skills and enjoy Pilgrim in the meantime.

Yeah, such great developments. Excellent to see things going so well.

@browniemcghee:

Well negotiated.

Thank you.  But I just said what we wanted and they agreed.  Not a lot of skill required…..

[Giles]

Pilgrims home for the next 12 months or so…..

[Giles]

Tomorrow, we were due to head south to the Channel Islands and France. Unfortunately, the weather, in particular the wind, and wave height and direction, are not in our favour.  So we will head west instead and see if we can get as far as Devon before turning around…...
