What's happening with Phoenix of Hamble's 'restoration'?
Been following Neil's blog but no update since July last.
Just curious.

From what I can gather on FB, Neil's short term target is running a marathon or Iron Man, ...
Not boaty.

What's an Iron Man (opposite of Flabby Man I guess) ?
Don't quite follow the logic as the blog was quite 'full on' P of H then nada.
Obviously, it's none of my business - I just enjoyed reading about the upgrades.

The varnishing season is over. He is mulling over re-engining. He is working hard to afford same.

Ironman is mega triathlon. 2k sea swim, 120 mile bike ride and then a full marathon. :ambivalence:

That's got a familiar ring to it :nonchalance:

'ello all!
All right on every front...
Varnishing season is behind and ahead of me.... mojo vanished for a few months, but now returned, and work is intense, to afford the goodies...
and in June I am competing in IronMan France.... which, unless I want to die in the attempt, requires a pretty significant amount of training, currently around 12hrs a week, and increasing!
Funnily enough, i'll be spending some time onboard in the next 2 weeks, so activity will be restarting.... apologies for tardy blog management... will make efforts to redeem myself!
PS.... largely lost my enthusiasm for this place too.... still love the ECF, but find myself increasingly depressed by the nastiness, bile and occasional hate spouted in other parts of the fora.

Why would you want to do that.
It's an achievement if I swim round the boat - never mind the rest
.Anyhow - good luck to him.
Look forward to when he get's back to being 'normal"
Edit: He has risen - look forward to the new additions to the blog.

Being normal is definitely overrated

I should add that I haven't been completely 'offline' boatwise.... I have continued to collect an ever growing list of boaty bits to fit!

Roughly translated that means more on the jobs list though, to do and done jobs can get scarily close as you know
Good to hear you're cracking onwards and best of luck with the ironman, best I can manage these days is to iron a shirt

Cos I'd probably drown on the first leg, screw my prostate on the second and knacker my knees on the third ;-)
Good luck, Neil, respect!!

No where near as demanding as what you're planning on doing but satisfying none-the-less :encouragement:
