Giles and Paula's Great Retirement Adventure

@Kasi:

@Matt:

I should probably start apologizing ahead of time.

To late now honour your words now 

I meant to my wife.

@Giles You're assuming she would stop….

[Giles]

Well, there is that 

But, I think it would be a very bad mark for Ben, the instructor, if he lost a client….

First night passage....

[Giles]

Great news. Will the boat play any part in the 20th anniversary weekend? Show off the new skills

No, got far too much else to do that weekend….

Way to go

[Giles]

I've created a monster.  Paula is on the phone to a friend, the half of the conversation I can hear is peppered with; Ferry Gliding, Prop Walk, Safe Place etc etc etc…..

[Kasi]

Congratulations [emoji3060]….

Captain G.. and lady Paula.

Lady command the harbour you follow

Sounds like she is shaping up to become the real skipper  Saw that determination in her eyes on the night run –-Go Paula !

@Madame Buttonfly and I took the boat out, for the first time on our own, today.

We motored to the fuel jetty, moored up and filled her with fuel, motored 10 miles east, anchored up, had lunch and returned home.

No Gelcoat lost…...

We'll take that....

…El Capitan(s)!

Thanks all for your good wishes - last week was pretty tough, especially the night passage, it was way past my bedtime and I struggled! 

Going out on our own for the first time on Saturday was amazing, and I successfully "parked" Pilgrim on our return

Tagging along on this journey is so much fun. I’m enjoying that you’re enjoying this adventure!  Thanks for letting us all follow along. And congratulations on first “solo” voyage!
