Looks very smart Pete. Just one comment, no stainless steel boat name?

New name is on board, waiting to be fitted.

And before anyone spots the manky old fenders in another folder, the boat came with a mixture of fenders, one or two look like they've been found on some beach. However, on closer inspection, 5 of the 9 were the original Fairline logo ones (presumably supplied in 2003) with the original white and red tails. So I've ordered 4 new matching ones (with OEM tails) which will give me 9 identical ones. I've got new sock material for them all too. Happy days !

After a slightly stressful couple of days, she's arrived in one piece!

Massive thanks to John100156, Timbad and Keith for supervising the unloading. Indeed, I never cease to be amazed by the generosity of the little community that we have here.

Roll on next Wednesday when I'm out for a visit!

But they never posted the pictures of them doing a sea and speed trail for you

It's a Fairline innit, built for speed!

No - they were probably in the bar at the time.

Seriously though, Pete - this is the reason I suggested Sant Carles as your base to jump into the Med.

Thanks Mike, your advice taken and appreciated! I'm out next week, back in November and might go over for New Year. As others have said, there's no rush to get it over to Mallorca or wherever.

BTW, I've just agreed a sub-let for a 12m berth with Pagnol through to the end of Jan (thanks to your forum) so will be on N321 for a while.

I've just looked at the webcam
I think they must have launched her.
Is this her alongside the fuel berth?

Moved off now though.
I looked on M Pontoon but I couldn't see her there.
Do you know where they put her?

 

[Hurricane]

OK - sorry I was looking on M Pontoon - didn't see your post above.
I think I've found her

Yep - there should be a few of us out there over the New Year and there is often a New Year's Eve Party in the bar to see the new year in.
And remember, the booze is really cheap in Spain!!!

Well spotted! What's the URL for the Webcam Mike?

Well spotted! What's the URL for the Webcam Mike?

There is a link to the webcam on SCMCHAT (first page left side of screen - menu) at www.scmchat.com
The SCMCHAT server connects to the webcam on the club's roof about 4 times a day.
It then takes photos of 10 different views and stores the most recent ones.
Anyone can then see the most recent shots by logging into the CHAT.
I think I've covered most of the marina - well the areas that the camera can see anyway.

There are some other features in that menu.
Things like - a QRP (Quick Reference Page) showing some local services.
An interactive map which allows the SCMCHAT users to add and share points of interest (restaurants, shops and anchorages etc have been added over the years).
And our AIS Fleet - a map reflecting our fleet within Vesselfinder - not 100% accurate but we are able to track each other whilst we are away cruising or at home etc.

 

[John100156]

Yep - we popped her onto M307 to start with and connected electrics - all went well.

I'll send some additional images, plus a short video to Pete showing them lifting her later, which he can upload as he sees fit, brought back some great memories......

Congratulations on safe arrival Petem. Missione accomplished!
And bravo to John100156, Timbad and Keith.
Looking forward to lots of cruise reports (Petem, you've exceeded your quota of PBOesque posts, so you have to do cruise reports and slick drone videos from now on )

Thanks JFM. I'm not sure if I have the patience for a drone but I might treat myself to one of those cheapo go-pros from eBay!
