At least it is sat in sunshine and you can go to it occasionally.
Spare a thought for the Solent berth holders paying £150 week to get rained on /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Best get some sunny photos out /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I got a letter from Shamrock Chandlery. It was my annual loyalty scheme credit note, this year for £140+ indicating a truly staggering amount spent there for the year...

I would put them in the shredder quickly, I the wife saw them you may be even more depressed.
Being possative - at least the money will not be wasted on frocks / carpets /curtains etc. and it gives you a reason for working.

You think you have problems.
I bought a new boat this year and I'm not saying how much it cost to get her to Spain.

I think it was Mike that took over the tanker off Africa recently - he needed to top off his tanks! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: I\'ve just added up my boating bills for the year
Let me guess.
Approximate total distance = 1700 Nm
Range of a P67, on a good day = 300Nm, assume 15% reserve
Fuel Capacity of a P67 = 4100 Litres
Litres per Nm = 4100/300 * 0.85 = 11.6
Total Litres = 11.6 * 1700 = 19,748
Assume fuel cost is £1.10 a litre.
Errm £21,700 ???
Plus food, beer, moorings ???

Second that,
I paid the marina fee, the insurance, a fill up of fuel, over £1k of repairs, all for 5 days in July with an engine problem which meant top speed was only 10 kts, realistically more like 7kts as no point in pushing the lump of water along. And the bog blocked as well /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Oh yes and 3 hours trying to get out of Ferry road for lunch when the bloody South run was going past.

No pleasing some people, you have an Italian boat who's value will be measured in euro, and you might otherwise have invested the money in shares. Do the sums including 5-10% pa depreciation on the boat, 25% devaluation of sterling, and 40% reduction in the FTSE, and your boat is probably the best investment you've made in the last 2 yrs ..

..I dont think the exchange rate helps much either Mike. We would be due to pay our mooring fee for the year about now and I figure the cost would have been 20% higher than last year just on the € vs £.
But then you have the sun and some great anchorages......

That sound to me like a good argument for getting a bigger boat
