Impending user name change

[Morpheous]

Due to the sale of White Mischief my user name will be changing soon. May go with the new boat name, not sure yet. New name not what I would have have chosen but it has been really good having complete strangers come up to me recognising the forum name.

Watch this space, looks like I could be spending a few weekends in Swansea...

White Mischief is a great boat name. It will take some beating. (Give us a clue.)

 

[Morpheous]

We were thinking of naming the replacement 'More Mischief' but only if we found in the history that it had been renamed before. Sadly it looks like it hasn't. Don't want to confirm the replacement on here yet in case it all falls through.

Sea trial now done and almost everything ok it got up and went which was the main thing. Survey being done Friday.

 

[Morpheous]

Well its gone, I am now offically boatless for the first time in ages. Definitely motivated get the purchase moving on the new one

Good luck. I would call her 'Upto More Mischief' If you want the names doing give me a shout.

Surveyor is down, apparently so far so good...

 

[Morpheous]

Well that came out better than expected, surveyors says;
Built like brick outhouse
A real rolls royce of the sea
last owner been a bit cavalier, but just needs a cosmetic sort out
no pox

Looks like we are going ahead. Hurrah.

BTW if you see white mischief say hello to the new owners; Simon & Michelle.

So when does the new boat come home? Got a picture?

 

[Morpheous]

Yep pictures, names etc will be posted shortly, hopefully by the end of this week. The deal is not completely sorted yet so don't want to jinx it!

Surveys all done and good so hopefully it will all go through now

 

[trapezeartist]

I walked past your berth today and I thought you had come over from the dark side. Then recognised the boat as a visitor from Cardiff. Unless .........?

 

[Morpheous]

He he, it was discussed but the replacement is still diesel powered. And according to steph wont fit in that berth. 7ft longer and 2ft wider than WM. I reckon it's worth a try though

 

[boatingdave]

Not sure but I think the visiting boat in your old mooring is a 38' and there is about 4' slack space between the pontoon and the piling. It would be 'snug' ;-)

 

[Morpheous]

I'm not sure length is the issue, its the girth. 2 ft wider than WM apparently, got any more fenders?

 

[boatingdave]

Only sausage fenders. If the piling wasn't there I think the width wouldn't be too bad, no worse than DR was on my previous mooring. But note the word previous.....

 

[Morpheous]

I might try to sweet talk Steph into letting me have a bash - oh dear, bad choice or words. she was quite adamant it wouldn't fit, Damo reckons it will though.

 

[boatingdave]

I thought the same but was try not to be controversial.

 

[boatingdave]

Oh and Damo is often right. Very impressed with that fella.

 

[Morpheous]

He used to be on here a lot, you will find lots of very interesting posts about the BC, navigation, history etc from him but then buggered off! Shame.

 

[Morpheous]

Sweet talking succesful, we will try to get in B1. Your offer of help - bring a large shoe horn and some gel coat repair
