Looking back at some old threads on this forum

[Hurricane]

Just been looking back at some old threads which might be interesting to people who missed them.

These links are quite old when our P67 was very new and naive to the Med.
She has become a bit of an "old hand" now.

Her first trip to Mallorca (in 4 parts)

And here is a more recent one - based in Cala D'Or

An older one based in Alcudia

And a short cruise round Menorca

And a return from Alcudia to Sant Carles via Calobra

And then an interesting (well I think it is anyway) visit to the MTU factory to get my MTU servicing qualifications.

OK - I've done it - quite a long thread and, of course, only my posts with photos.
I think this was the thread that you meant.

BTW - I've patched a lot more than the links in this thread.
I'll do more as I come to them.

I've also edited this one:-
Our Delivery Trip from Torquay to the Med

Note that there is now a limit of 20 photos per post so the story starts on post #1 and then continues on post #51 and #52.
So, to read the thread in sequence, you read #1 then #51 then #52 and then back to post #2

Hope you like it
Brings back memories for us anyway.

Now, that is VERY interesting indeed - even more so considering that I missed it back then.
I only just had a look for the moment 'cause I'm rushing out, but I'll surely read it all ASAP.
Just a small thing I noticed, though:
the CR2000 engine in the first two pics looks like a 12 rather than a 16 cylinders version, I reckon.
Ain't it nice to have the opportunity to amend a post 8 years later...?

Yep - and it has taken 8 years for someone to spot that.
I'll leave it "as is" - for posterity sake!!

I suppose that thread could be regarded as "Engine Porn" - a light relief from "Boat Porn"

I've just updated my Sardinia thread - a massive blog in 2015 starting at the planning stage and then a report on the whole of the summer's trip to Carloforte.
I've revived all the photos that I can.
If anyone missed it, there is quite a lot of boring stuff.
Best bits and photos are from about post #200 to about post #450
This is the thread

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post all your threads and pictures.
We recently sold our apartment of fifteen years in the Costa Brava and I miss the sunny weather and the coast. After looking at this I feel inspired enought to think of a floating apartment!
