Here on the hamble. A quick jaunt over to Osbourne Bay to check everythings all ok, saw Steve D and 'Thanks Mum' waving like a mad man behind us so of course we waved back then realised he was trying to tell us we'd left a fender tied up!! oops! Did a bit of full throttle side by side, now back at berth (and I parked it stern to in one :D) and soaking up what must be 18 degrees of full sunshine. Sheer bliss!!!

Yep, an absolute cracker this afternoon, we went from Swanwick to Lymington and funnily enough we also saw Thanks Mum halfway up the Hamble being closely shadowed by a big flybridge. I've never met Steve, but I recognised the boat name from the forum so I waved like a madman ... he very politely waved back, but I imagine he was thinking 'who the ---- is that?' It was me!

Now comfortably tied up in Berthons, treating the posh locals to our chavvy underwater lights! :D

Cheers

Yes what a great day, along with may others took the opportunity to check all was OK after the winter servicing. Lisilou if that was your SC35 who anchored up behind 2 S34's in Osborne the one on the shore side 'imagine' was me

Yes, we drove top down to Weymouth, had a nice lunch watched a small mobo head out onto a dead flat sea and then we went to Lyme Regis to wonder along the beach. Very warm and calm there too. Amazing scenery in that part of England. A lovely day out.

Was a great day out thanks David, the smile was soon wiped from my face the more I realised I now had a boat with a much bigger tank!

Liar! Your grin was a mile wide! Put it this way - you saved over £10k on buying a diesel boat. That's a lot of petrol. Plus, the 350 Magnum will need just a bit of taming! It's a good boat, so go enjoy.

And I even came back with a bit of sunburn. What more could you want!
 
Had a sh*te day fitting a nice new electric toilet and new engine room fans, along with a good look over my 2 green monsters now out of hibernation ready for some red stuff flowing through them, no wife shes gone to the big apple for a long weekend so hopefully some cleaning tomorrow.

Hi Jimmy, wish we had known you were in Berthons...we are in the yacht haven. Had an amazing run down with Warlock, can't believe it's March. Would have loved to have popped round to see the light display :D:D
 
Went down to Hamble point yesterday lunchtime. It looked fantastic out there! See that aviator has not been worked on yet ready for summer so some calls to be made Monday!

Today we carry on packing the house up to move!
