Giles and Paula's Great Retirement Adventure

[goosehd]

@Giles 15 knots must of used a little diesel...and kudos to the boat for fixing itself (with your help of course). I'm sure the verbal encouragement and use of expletives helped the process quite a bit

[Giles]

All I know is that in Paula's "how long can we last until we need to peg it" spreadsheet, there is a row for quarterly expenditure on fuel. The number I gave her was ridiculously large, so I almost can't overspend in that category.....

So relaxing

We anti-fouled SAKURA this week. I decided to go blue......Not to everyone's taste, but then it's not everyone's boat

This is the bow-thruster tunnel....

Today we sailed 100 miles west to pick some friends up from Dartmouth, we will sail back to Gosport with them tomorrow. Here we are arriving at Noss on Dart….

[Giles]

Had a bit of help at the helm this weekend....

[Giles]

"Boat hook" holders installed.....

[goosehd]

@Giles You sly devil…

[Giles]

"Boat hooks" prepared......

[ARNC]

Well, hooks and boats feature somewhere, so I guess the language is accurate!

@Karol we chartered our yacht from them in November. They had to give us a different one than originally booked because that one had been attacked by Orcas as well and had to be repaired

[Karol]

@Tago-Mago holly fuck! well, they're not going to repair that one...
