I was asked by some members to keep them updated about Mirabella V's arrival in Portsmouth. She is currently in sight of the Isle of Wight and should be anchored off Portsmouth soon (no anchor jokes please, I have heard them all). She will probably enter the yard tomorrow afternoon.
She is expected to be in Portsmouth for around 6-8 weeks, and should be in the Caribbean (BVI) by year end. She came up from La Ciotat on her own, and the trip went very well.
Some of you may have noticed that this is my first posting by me, as me. So I thought I would explain my thoughts about posting on this forum.
I have always enjoyed boats and boating, and not necessarily just the big variety. This is a good place to exercise that interest. I would have preferred to be anonymous. However, due to certain recent events anonymity is no longer an option, and it's 100% my fault. I am not coming back to take or give any abuse. I am coming back because following the sting, I actually met some nice people through this forum, and I think there may be more like them out there.
I have access to some unique information about certain boats, specifically the Mirabellas, which I can make available to other forum members, which may be seen as useful. I will probably not be much use in most other areas. I really hope that members will treat me like anyone else, and I expect no special treatment.
There may be certain subjects that I simply cannot discuss, simply because of who I am. In these cases I will simply tell you that I can't answer and hopefully we can move on. If we really get stuck on a topic, I suggest one or two Fosters at the PoW may solve the problem
