I've gone and done it again. Is it my age....?

[peterandjeanette]

or is it that I am ready to slow down a bit............?

Yes, OK, I know this is a mobo forum but the dark side does have some appeal.

or do I enjoy the hot sunshine after a **** British summer - again

Onasis island off Lefkas (Greece)

or do I enjoy clear warm seas

or is it just an excellent opportunity to see SWMBO in a bikini despite the inevitable glass of wine in her hand

and the early morning dash for the wind that finally appeared

before the sun appeared yet again

Then I get back to Southampton and the weather is not too bad. I step on board my mobo and I acknowledge that yacht designers have still got a long way to go before they produce the accomodation that a mobo can offer. Especially if they want to satisfy SWMBO.

So, is it my age? Nah, I just love the sun, warm sea and the slow pace of life. No change there, then

The Snowgoose as seen above, first class condition, none has ever been known to either capsize or sink .Had a lot of pleasure but spend a great deal of time motoring (2l p.h. @ 7 knots) especially when single handed and am now in my eightieth year so wanting new experiences.

I'm sneaking of to Turkey next summer doing the raggy thing - I keep looking at Moody 45DS rag and stick boats and thinking - cheap to run......

Yeah, nothing ever breaks or wears out & most marinas like them so much that berths are free.

OK, Only teasing, I know you are talking about fuel costs. But everything is relative, few boats are actually cheap.

Oh, what a relief. From the title of this thread, I thought you had gone and bought a motor caravan!

 

[peterandjeanette]
