Bow - lee - urggh . All kinda done at pace .. 2 ½ syllables with 'lieu' being 1 ½ !
"Beau" as in Beau Geste ….. "Lieu" being "place" e as we all forgot from GCSEs ( GCEs for oldies like me !)

To round this thread off...
Last week I signed a contract with Port Gallice until the end of March. Flying out Monday to move it from its temporary berth in St Laurent du Var.
Perhaps I'll get chance to meet up with some SOF forumites over the winter.
Can't wait.

That's great news, well done. When I was looking a couple of years ago I found the capitanerie at Gallice to be very helpful.
I won't be around in SoF this winter myself, but I daresay all the others will be. Will you stick around for next summer as well?

Good going with the Gallice berth. Very nice marina. I'll generally be down in SofF, but mostly weekends not midweek. You get plenty of nice cruising days plus there is always a winter refit list to work through. Weather is looking very good for the next week, so you should have a nice mini cruise on Monday. Here is villefranche webcam just now, about 4 miles east of your boat's current berth. Camera looking towards the SW, the headland in the far distance (7 miles from camera) right above the www is the Cap D'Antibes, which is 1/2mile from your new berth in Gallice (sorry for TYHTSE re the geography; I'm thinking of readers less familiar with the area)
Jimmy when are your shipping oop north dates?

Provisionally the week after next, but as you know these things can slip. Should know more at the beginning of next week.

No, our business is seasonal so I'm too busy in the summer. I haul out for July and August because it's cheaper and I can't use it then anyway.
If I can't stay where I am for April/May/June then I'll press on West until I find something. The hard part is being near an airport, served by Bristol, out of season. Plan is to end up in Spain next year but who knows...
Not a bad way to see the Med as it's working out.

Excuse me for butting in, but have we missed something JtB, are you bringing your fine vessel back to UK waters? Presume it's a temporary measure and you'll be back to the SoF next year?

Yep, boat is coming back at the end of the month, for a mini refit over the winter. Back down again before next summer. Hoping for a bit of UK boating in the spring first.

Aha, having missed you last time you came to Dartmuf, let me know if you venture this far before disappearing again.

Absolutely. All things being equal I should have a couple of months in the UK before heading south. Do they still do Proper Job in the Cherub??

what are you going to do Jimmy? can we expect a refit "thread ?
if you do the transport to UK, must be a serious refit ?

No, it's not that serious - there's no stabilisers, or hydraulic platforms involved
just a _lot_ of small jobs, which taken all together are easier to do here in the UK than remotely in France. The boat is only 12m long, so trucking up and down is pretty straightforward.

Was in there a short while back, not sure, but I think I was supping Proper Job, memory's a bit hazy.............

Not yet.
But you should look into one of the new small seakeepers, under the saloon steps, which you want to rebuild anyway
Would be a very neat upgrade

GCSE Math 2015:
Q1 according to all the stats I can be bothered to find Azi 37 is narrower and shorter than a fairline t40. Explain why it won't fit on JtB's berth?

i thought it wasn't narrower? T40 is 3.62m in the beam.
Edit: yep, the OP does say in #3 that his beam is 3.96m.
