Boatless of Calshot Calling

[thecommander]

I was thinking yesterday as we bounced and splashed through the Solent chop at Calshot how much fun a rib would be in these conditions. Then I realised sleeping overnight onboard a rib wouldn't be fun nor would cooking or needing a pee. I think the solution might be one of these.

I can see David now, parked on the side of the road with the 'van. Sparking off threads on here ...

Callum,

'Er indoors has already started on the "we can go on holiday somewhere" that was one of the first things she said when I came back from finalising the sale, we'll make a fine pair bionic pensioners, her having her hips replaced twice and me as the newbie hip replacee, I think I know what's in her head, but you know wimmin, when you have an idea that you starting to get to grips with how their brain works, they immediately say something to crush that thought, there was mention of a couple of weeks in a floating steel block of flats, which has zero appeal for me, we live on top of the cruise ship capital of the UK and just the thought of getting on one of those things makes me feel ill, wondering endlessly day after day from one restaurant to another grazing like sheep for two weeks and return to Southampton weighing 5 stone more than when you left, and 7 or 8k short in my wallet, no thanks.....

Early days yet David, once you're sorted health wise, and as the cold UK winter approaches, you can both jump on a plane
and head to the southern hemishere, chase the sun!
A number of reasonably priced, longer termed, accomodation options (AirBnb etc) in NZ or Oz might be just what the doctor ordered?
Maybe catch up with some forum mates?
