Enough now. I want my boat back.

[lisilou]

After 3 weeks of no boat, you realise just how much you miss the relaxation of it all. Fast running out of summer now and just wanna get back on the water! Its true to say, I now can't imagine my life without my boat. Never again will I venture off course to avoid the bigger boys!!

Back from where?

Did you leave it in a marina and forget which pontoon it was on?

Better to give way to the bigger boys than be sunk by them. What happened to you and your boat?

Dont laugh...i've done that in a multi storey before now!! No, bent the prop and so its in the menders. 3 weeks tho is a tad frustrating.

Got a bit nervous whem 2 bloody great cruise liners stole my intended course so instead of just sitting back, i went too far inshore and the ground came up and bit my prop.

Should have held your course, I'm sure they would've got out of the way!

Plenty more "summer" left... I hope.

Once a long long time ago I parked a car at the NEC and didn't make a mental note of where. You don't make that mistake twice

I was brought up to give way to my elders and betters...that little gem has cost me a fortune!!

>>elders and betters

I think keeping out of the way of several tens of thousands of tons of steel moving towards you is never a bad idea.

Joining you in frustation: somewhere on a shelf in Watford is a small green metal disc labelled as "860755". The soonest anyone can get me an "860755" is Tuesday, and Flower Power is unable to proceed without one

drove past Keypart yesterday, could have picked it up for you if that's where it's at

Ta, but it's at the VP central depot.
I could probably bodge it with JBWeld, but would prefer to wait for the real thing rather than have many gallons of seawater sloshing around in the bilge again 22 miles offshore.

Its all part of the learning curve.There are three " islands" named after me in Poole Harbour. Seems that I am a slow learner.
