pleased after the vivid memories of those posts during the storm.
If I remember, you like a project.
Well done, happy sailing.

Congrats Peter,

Was going to ask if she was going to be Shady Lady 2, but looking at your profile, I see that she's Lady Too...

Are you keeping her in Sth France, or is she coming back to the West Country?

Re: She\'s Mine!!!!!!

Good news at last.

Can we expect a new web site soon?

 

[poter]

Re: She\'s Mine!!!!!!

Hmmmm.

No I don't think a new web site is on the cards, I have a full time job along with a Large labrador & a SWMBO to look after, & now a new project. But I will be posting project pics on to the web site. Watch this space

She is in a great (Windy) location as long as you only look west!
But it still looks nice

[poter]

Re: She\'s Mine!!!!!!

Brendan, I am going to keep her in Port Napoleon which is where she is berthed.

As far as SW sailing......hmmmm, maybe an old Hobie 16 if I can find one, just for kicks, it will remind me of days long ago.

Re: She\'s Mine!!!!!!

Congratulations Peter, it is so nice everything turned out ok in the end.

Bits of Shady Lady will sail on too /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

When are we going to see a photograph of the new boat?

Just out of interest, how was buying in France any fun with authorities or registering her?

 

[BrendanS]

Re: She\'s Mine!!!!!!

I'll be interested in how you get on there. There were some posts about that location some while back.?

 

[poter]

Re: She\'s Mine!!!!!!

Brendan,

I have been down there, late Jan, it was bleedin freezin -10. The marina is great with loads of facilities, a few ex-pats around, & there is accom on site, ok fairly basic but it was heated and cheap.

I think the draw back is the industrial area in the bay & the Mistral, but hey its warm and the sea gets to 22 & the bar serves litre's of belgium beer at silly prices.

At least the wind is blowing south towards Majorca etc.
