Spending the weekend at anchor 😎

awful site, minimal info, assume it's like an SUP, so inflatable.
one dealer in GR with no webpage and a fb page updated last a year ago.
when you say horrendously expensive a couple of k euro or more? SUPs start at 300

It’s Hobie.....so you probably have a shop near you....not inflatable.....rigid board like an old fashion surf board

just one dealer for GR, however, rigid board, nope, not for me, I'll skip that!

I agree... I would definitely prefer an inflatable....we searched for one, but at the time (and perhaps still true) none were available....the wife finds the Eclipse to be very stable (I can’t stand up on it)....and she can go miles in it at speed with or without the dog (and our previous big dog)...once she towed me when my Torqeedo failed. Unfortunately her knees are giving her some trouble now...so this was the first time she used it for two years. She loves it....but it’s a pain keeping it on the boat

Well done for finding that....we have had ours for about seven years now...one of the very first made available to the public (the first batch went to hire companies)....the price hasn’t come down hugely since then

nice find, but I'm not going to be rushing out to buy one Graham

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Not surprised at that price

I’m quite knackered at this moment....putting the boat to bed is always more work than you imagine.....and of course life at sea is harsh and I need some unwinding time

This is a busy anchorage where I was last week

 

[Bouba]

Are you going to tell us where

Are you going to tell us where

Ithaca

Ithaca

Did you worry about the Great White circling your boat ?

 

[Hooligan]

Are you going to tell us where

I prefer to think it’s a trick of the light

I had a week on my boat last week too. It was lovely to just be out there on my own. It turns out i’m the gossip of my marina too as i’m the only owner who takes a boat this size out on my own. I reckon others are missing out on the most amazing days as it is perfect. Palma Bay was like a millpond.

And you cook as well

I do indeed. I bred the free range granola all by myself.

The boat you can just see behind the white yacht is I believe a liveaboard who looks like they have been there over winter. Probably testifies to the quality or safeness of the anchorage
