Exit stage left

[Deleted member 478]

My second big departure from the UK happens in a few days time. Unfortunately it will not be a repeat of heading off into the sunset, but fortunately I will be heading off to sunnier skies. I have bought a share in a new game reserve in South Africa and need to head back there to ensure that there are heads on beds. I expect to be there for about a year before heading back to Stingo and continuing with my circumnavigation.

I will try pop in here as often as time and internet access permits, but I don't expect that to be too often. So until then, Adiós amigos and may the Gods of wind & whiskey be kind to you.

Best wishes John, hope the game reserve goes well for you

What about the beer I owe you at the Boat Show?
Take care of yourself - are big games like Monopoly and Cluedo?

 

[BrendanS]

Good luck John. Which reserve?

A close friend of ours - a talented painter of SA origin - has just gone back home for a year to teach art to underprivileged kids and to help oversee the building of a house on some land that she has bought with her sister. You're in excellent company.

Good fortune and (forgive me) I hope you don't find it too taxing..............

Thanks all...

Brendan, it's Nambiti Conservancy

Best of luck John.....

We expect to see you come sailing over the horizon into the English Channel in a shiny new cat in a year or so's time!

Do be too much of a stranger around this electronic part of the world......

What happened to the cat you were thinking of buying ?

 

[Deleted member 478]

Gotta sell Stingo first and if that doesn't happen, then the above applies. I am about to drop the price to bargain basement levels.

 

[BlueSkyNick]

All the best John, I hope things work out for you.

Thanks for all your entertainment and assistance on this forum, and we will look forward to hearing from you again.

Nick

Good Luck mate

Do we get cheap accommodation if we pop over for a safari?? /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Keep in touch!

 

[Deleted member 478]

Yep. First night free, (including meals & game viewing drives) but book via me - my email address is on my sailing website. Naturally, this offer is open to all forumites that have never slagged me off.

I hereby withdraw every....nah, sod it, I don't fancy a safari anyway! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Deleted member 478]

There may be a few exceptions...

 

[Deleted member 478]

Brendan, you still owe me a pint and your debt is so long outstanding that I cannot remember why. Anyway, a beer only costs 50p at my reserve. I'll be more than happy for you to buy it there.

 

[Vara]

Best of luck,keep us posted!

 

[KevB]

Would be nice (if time and technology permits) for us back in miserable old Blighty if you could post your progress similar to your saily web page.

Take care.

Kevin.
