Moving On

[ QUOTE ]
Martyn, it sounds like you've had the same discussion as us. Due to business and school commitments, we have limited time for holidays and my family is complaining that we spend every summer holiday on the boat. In truth, we have spent most if not all of the last 20 years taking our summer holidays on our boat which means we haven't been anywhere else. Whilst we do take winter holidays, these are mostly skiing so the family feel they haven't seen as much of the rest of the world as they would have liked. The trouble with boating is that instead of being just a pastime, it tends to become an all consuming lifestyle choice and it's difficult to strike a balance

What a hard life you have, fancy a swap? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Yup, it's a tough life but somebody has gotta live it. I'm thinking of becoming an MP to make it easier /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Martyn,
sad day, wont be the same coming down to Alcudia!! Mind you not coming down there again for a few years, off to Ibiza this year and corfu/Ionian next.
all the very best, Colin.
 
Martyn sorry to hear about your decision to temporarily suspend your boating activities. If you find yourself out my area in summer dont hestitate to let me know and I am sure we can arrange a boating "fix" for you. Clive
 
Cheers Colin, at least I know where to find you /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Your plans sound great, I look forward to following your adventures on here.

Hope to meet up again someday

Martyn

Ditto.

We never did get to meet in Alcudia or at MartynK's BBQ so if you ever get over to Dublin we can arrange the boat but can't promise the sunshine /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
Hi Martyn. Only just seen this post. Sorry to hear all that but you gotta decide these things from time to time and do what you want. Nothing's irrevocable, you can always come back to boating. Do stick around and chip in on the forum from time to time - we like your posts (and pictures!)

If you ever find yourself in SoF PM or email for a boating fix. Or help yourself - the keys are in the ignition /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Might try to find you around the 18/19 July weekend cos I'm supposed to be in Alcudia/Pollensa then, according to my diary!

Best wishes for the next chapter anyhow
 
Thanks SV

We need to get MK to get his act together (easier said than done !) and arrange a get together. Look forward to meeiting you and Mrs SV in the near future

Regards

Martyn
 
Thanks jfm. i've been really touched by all the good wishes and offers of boat trips. At this rate I'll spend more time on the water than ever!

I think we are scheduled to be in Alcudia on the dates mentioned so it would be great to meet up if possible. I'll let you know our plans nearer the time

Best Wishes

Martyn
