      whatever little local shit you can bring back to the boat.

      Mainly Oysters.

      Sea Bass fishing along this coast is stupendous, so I'll be doing a lot of that.

      We have the house on the market. We have had 5 viewings, but as each viewing came and went, and we listened to the comments the prospects had, Paula and I realised that we simply aren't going to find something as nice and as quiet locally, and frankly if we move away from Gosport, we probably couldn't afford it either. So it is still on the market atm, but we have asked that no special marketing is done to drum up interest whilst we are away. A move was going to cost us a lot, so we think we'd rather invest that money into keeping the big house going until it's time to properly downsize or die, whichever comes first.

          @Giles If you F'n die before selling the house I'm flying over for the estate sale. $7 IH shirts (you know how they do these estate clothes) in my size will be worth the travel cost.

                        I was just telling Katie yesterday how much I was looking forward to sitting in the patio at the back yard after party because I didn’t realize the house was actively being viewed. Maybe @Kasi can buy it and rent it back to you. On second thought his monthly rent might be more than a mortgage. 💸
