Fab - On my way to Bonifacio NOW!!! Just need to calculate how big a bowser I need to tow across Biscay to do it without a stop.
I think Jack's a pretty cool writer too.
Ooer Mark, you've asked about my specialist subject there mate. Scatter cushions are a critically important part of the boat. It just wouldn't be the same without them. They make the sofas more comfortable of course just like in a house, but I agree their practical use ends there. However, they allow you to change the look every couple of days. The day after the dinner table/sofa was photographed with the cerise/pink, it was changed to aquamarine blue and turquoise stuff, giving a totally new look. Plain sofas with no cushions look too dull, esp on the flybr of this boat which has acres of sunbrella cloth. The cushions add colour, and you can change the colour every couple of days. They also make the beds look nicer. I have 60 cushion fillings on the boat in constant use and 90 cushion covers (to allow the look to be changed). It's essential stuff Mark!
And here I was, thinking to have already seen an OTT arrangement on your previous 58...
"nice anchorages and interesting places for visiting in SOF area"
itinery at this moment is:
leave Rome on 19 july
route via Giglio, Elba, Corsica to be defined
pickup guests in Toulon or Antibes area around 25 july
drop our kids in Toulon or other airport on 26 july
drop guests in Antibes around 29 july
and then some more cruising, route to be defined
to her final destination in Marseille on 12 august
plans might change, but period is fixed between 15/7 and 12/8
in wich period are you planning to go to Croatia in 2012 ?
perhaps in spring 2012 I might bring the boat back to Rome for some works
and then after that, spend one summer with BA in Croatia, and show her to my Croatian friends
hold on ! lets start with some smaller challanges !
If given the choice, I'd definitely prefer the first.

I've banned scatter cushions from my boats for many years now as they serve no useful purpose other than mopping up oil from the bilges
Blimey thats getting a bit Gok Wan. This is a boating forum not an ideal home forum
I can give you a list of things on boats that serve no useful purpose by that apparent definition. Starting with the boat itself...

after JFM found that leftover daytime telly script to justify his superfluous boat apparel, I wonder what would be said if a new crew member did use one of the 30 "resting" covers as an oily bilge rag!! I doubt they came from ikea......
