Wabbidashery… aka, The Heritage Heaven Tour
-
@Giles so many questions
We took a 60 minute flight around the area. It was great until the pilot made me take the controls, I was extremely uncomfortable, but apparently not as much as @Madame-Buttonfly and Hemi sitting in the back….
(and that was before we even took off
)I tried to make him take control again, he just pointed to a distant mountain, and said “fly to that”…..

well you're already a skipper, might as well add pilot to the list..

This tour is shaping beautifully in the last month!
Wabbidashery is on the the run again! -
Some pull ups after? @Giles

@Giles

The little boat is a catamaran, thus it has 2 hulls. The bilge pump (which is supposed to evacuate water) in the starboard hull is buggered, so I am having to pop down occasionally and bail water out. As it has been pissing down cats and dogs this week, that is a daily occurrence. I do have a new one to install, but the idea of lying down in water and doing the removal, rewiring and installation is not that appealing. Hoping for a few days decent weather so the starboard hull floor dries out, or at least is just damp....

Today, Paula and I went to the Royal Armouries on Portsdown Hill in Portsmouth. It is basically a celebration of all the shit we could do to people we did not like, or had fallen out with, or needed to be taught a lesson. But there is all sorts of other amazing stuff on display.
A couple of the tubes that were part of Saddam Husseins superguns....Each gun comprised 26 tubes, so were reasonably large. They were made in the UK, "embargo, what embargo, these are tubes for the petrochemical industry"
Small gun and ammo that we nicked off the Turks...
But the real reason for going was the "Standing with Giants" installation....
Extremely moving.....

The ‚Standing with Giants‘ installation impressed.
Reading the letter on the last picture was heartwarming and gloomy at once.
Looks like The Wabbidashery accumulates your best form @Giles and thanks @Madame-Buttonfly to put him into handsome perspective
