Galician “ratty”

[Wansworth]

Whilst messing about on my yacht a passing boat owner remarked “ no hay mass,fichicando co to barco”………basicallly what Ratty had said

How good does it feel to start a post with those words?

Los duenos de las tiendas de efectos navales son ladrones

Seems universal

Buying the boat was the easy bit; can you imagine how long we'll have to wait before he actually sails the damn thing?

So what? He's on the water, which is attached to all the water in all the seas, which laps up against all the shores everywhere - dreaming of where he could go.

It really doesn't matter if he never leaves the marina.

Turn the boat round and you get a whole new view too
It looks pretty sane purchase from here. Well done

One of my favourite lines ever.

I agree with Kevin, you are now one of those people who looks at people without a boat instead of the other way round....and the other yottie knew exactly that. Well done....now see if you can get an earlier eye appointment and buy a Porta Potti

I don’t see us sailing until November.Scatter cushions are high on the list of needs along with the porta pottie.We have a portable gas cooker but the cabin needs sorting and items not wanted and cushion covers need to be removed to be washed….on a serious note the engine needs an oil change

It’s a good list.....except it misses the most important item.....
Don’t tell the wife how much it really costs you

I've always assumed Mrs Wansy was the brains of the outfit - one of them has to be, surely?

How right you are ,she is the one who beat down the final price

How right you are ,she is the one who beat down the final price

And if you aren’t careful and sneaky....she will beat down your annual boating budget

 

[Bouba]

Let me clarify.....you can’t hide the big ticket items.....it’s probably the wife who cuts the cheque......but the little stuff...that adds up incredibly quick...when you walk into the chandler looking to lavish a little love on your boat.....this is what you hide

I don’t have an anual boating budget…….yet

Ah but Mrs W knows that the health of her husband is paramount
And if fettling makes him happy…
