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…..

[louisbosco]

@Giles:

Jealous is bad, envy is OK…...

[goosehd]

[Giles]

I used the word jealous on purpose because I am more than fucking envious…..
