@Giles that's insane!! bet you can't wait to get her in the water

[A Former User]

Looks good @Giles

[ROman]

Sakura looks beautiful @Giles & @Madame-Buttonfly

[Clint_D]

Sakura looks beautiful, I'm so happy for y'all! Hoping for many great adventures for you two!

[mclaincausey]

What an amazing way to spend retirement. Y’all must be over the moon and so am I for you.

[Giles]

@Madame-Buttonfly finds the soap for SAKURA...

[goosehd]

@Giles Now how did she find that, but from the joke thread she is quite brilliant!

[Giles]

Fuck knows......

[goosehd]

...and before @Giles chimes in...@Madame-Buttonfly I said you are quite brilliant!! Hope you're well

[goosehd]

@Giles Paula not using her account...I looks like the tag didn't work

[Giles]

There she is......Unfortunately, the commercial dock she is currently moored in is closed to mere mortals like us on a Sunday, so this photo is taken from across the harbour.....

Our instructions for name size and placement on the bow were not carried out, so that will get fixed somewhere between here and home, probably when @Alex comes to join us somewhere on the Iberian Peninsular.....

[goosehd]

Congratulations G and Paula! Surprised you haven’t went for a swim to see how the water is…

[goosehd]

You could also check around and see if anyone sells these:

Then nobody could stop you…

[Giles]

I was chatting to David Thompson (brother of Alex) yesterday. He said there are many Orca in The Gibraltar Straits at the moment (chasing the Blue Fin Tuna as they migrate East)......God, I would love to see one of those......

[goosehd]

If you only had a boat at your disposal…wonder where you could find one?

[goosehd]

…and aren’t you supposed to put 25 hours on it before you leave?

[Giles]

Yes. But there are some complications (thanks a fucking lot Brexit), we may have to go to Palma to do the Spanish exit paperwork (not needed before Brexit) because the Menorcan customs officers don't know what to do (or can't be bothered - most likely). So we may decide to do some hours here, then the balance of the 25 hours between here and Palma and do the ATF change in Palma. Currently, it is as clear as mud......

[Aetas]

Congratulations!

you mean you'd love to catch one of those to christen the boat?

[Giles]

That would be a ride
