Princess 67 Delivery - UK to Spain - Loads of Pics and Videos

Not sure what to make of this. No idea who 'Mike' is.

I think it’s possible that the author of previous comment might be referring to the OP.

I'd say pretty sure he did, rather than just possible.
BTW, if it really were Hurricane cleverly disguised as Mileholm resurrecting the thread, it's only logical that he would say he has no idea who Mike is!

Just for the record, I am NOT Mileholm
But only Mileholm and I will actually know that.

Funny co-incidence though.
I am out in SCM at the moment and we were in the bar discussing delivery trips only lat week.
A yachtie friend did the same trip a year later than us and wanted to compare logs.
So, I simply sent him a link to this thread.

@Mileholm - thanks for resurrecting this thread. It was a major part of my boating life.
And I have been boating since I was a small boy.
To update - we still have the Princess 67 and try to keep her in tip top condition.
You will find numerous other threads that I have posted on this forum that document our journey.
It is getting harder and harder to keep doing the work ourselves so it is time to pay more for contractors.
Yesterday, we completed an oil change only to find that the start batteries have failed so setting the final oil "top up" levels will have to wait a couple of days until the new batteries arrive.

Strange, the old batteries were working last weekend when we popped out to the lagoon with friends.
Thankfully, the batteries lasted long enough to start up before our return to the berth.

Here are some pics from last weekend.



I have some videos from last weekend as well - might be worth posting.

Nice to see this thread brought up to the surface again. Remember it (and several other) new boat/delivery posts from other members here over the years and always followed with great interest.
There is and have always been something special about deliver trips.
Did a few my self and in later years done quite of them for boat dealers here in Norway and Scandinavia. Still not tired of it.

Good to see Jenny Wren is still going strong @Hurricane . But boats that's been so well taken care of as you have done over the years with JW are usually in very good condition and far above the average.

Those of you who are interested.
The above story continued with a trip to Malta and back.
This is a link to that report:-
Spain to Malta (Warning: long & loads of pics!)

What is it with start batteries then ? I’m sure Major will sort you out fine.
Nice photo by the way love the lovely looking Phantom 48 with the foredeck cushions.
