Giles and Paula's Great Retirement Adventure

[goosehd]

Good for the sonar.  I was just worried about you disrupting fish breeding areas and schools by accident. 

The sides scan is awesome and I’ve found a few wrecks using it.

We have to have a basic boater’s license for anything over 10hp motor,  basic safety equipment for everyone on board and that’s about it.  High traffic areas around Toronto requires a special permit (due to traffic congestion).  Really it’s because there are a load of idiots who have zero common sense and like to do stupid stuff.

@Giles:

We are ot required to have anything in the UK, no charts, no qualifications no nothing….Can you believe it?

The boat comes with sonar and conical CHIRP as standard

that is nuts.  ???

Had a great evening! Absolute pleasure working with the best bunch of legends! Thank you again for the hospitality @Giles & Paula!  @Giles:

[Giles]

100% our pleasure.  Thanks for joining us and hearing things that @AdamJ would rather not have been spoken about…...

[Aetas]

As I am waiting for the Sage54, it is beautiful to see the Pilgrim in action!

[AdamJ]

Nothing like @AdamC spinning a story infront of the team on a Friday evening 

[AdamC]

This is the moment I lost the trust of you @AdamJ   

[Giles]

Paula and I placed depth markers on the anchor chain last week, I thought we should have an aide memoir at the helm…..

In any other boat news, @Ian72 showed me how to take the winches aport and service them today, they now have a much more satisfying click - shit like this important 

[Matt]

I’d be a terrible sailor.

[Giles]

Having winches that click nicely will not me a better sailor make 

[Ian72]

Stupid predictive text ! That should say “it does make them work better when you need them “

A couple of shots on the Pilgrim.               

[Giles]

Nearly finished installing the new califorier, and of course, I am one connector short, so back to the DIY store….

Lucky you, always fun to go back multiple times. I had to return three times recently to find a toilet seat that would fit the inner, then outer dimensions of the rim, and then the correct thickness so that it would stay closed.

[Giles]

So it's all done.  Pressured up, no leaks.  The immersion heater actually heats up the water.

Knock me over with a feather 

Admittedly, I have not fired up the engine to test if the heat exchanger works, but that IMHO, is least risk…...Which is why I'm waiting until @Ian72 is with me, because he actually knows what he is doing

[Giles]

The future owners of Pilgrim have borrowed her for a few days for some cruising around the Solent, I'd be lying if I did not say I was a little bit jealous…..
