Hi Bart. Will keep you updated.
Here is a pic along N coast of Mallorca, as he peels away from the coast heading for Antibes. 300nm to run

Lucky with the weather. That NW coast of Majorca can often be a bit lumpy. I've seen that bit of sea a few times when its been quite boisterous

Actually I have more of a problem with the Sq78 next door. Because his passarelle is exactly opposite his electricity box he ties his boat up on the skew and squeezes my berth as a result

Is that the one for sale?

Very handsome, but I really wouldn't call it a "boat".
"Motor Yacht" or "Ship" seems to fit better.

Seems like a lot of money to me btw

Oi, what happens here?
I haven't checked in the asylum for a few days, I was expecting to see pics, videos, drone clips by now...
...The full monty!

 

[bigwow]

Will there be enough work on this new boat to stop Silver Dee getting bored?

Sorry for lack of pictures. Silver Echo (as she is going to be called I think) arrived about 9pm Saturday evening so it was dark and I didn't fancy drone flying. Here is a quick iPhone picture as she was about to come into her new Antibes berth

The delivery trip was fine. A few little niggles and repairs, but nothing serious.

You know you hear those anecdotes about mean people who remove the light bulbs when they sell their houses? Well, the seller of this boat was the same. Actually the interior lightbulbs were left in, but pretty much everything kitchenish was taken including the kettle, and the plug off the end of the shoreline was taken so as my brother wound in the glendinning the shore end of the cable just had 3 bare wires. Amazing what some folk will do. No worries, and what goes around will in this case I expect come around (more on that later!)

Yep, we moved into a house when I was a kid and the PO's even took the bog paper!

Why do people go to these lengths.
My first house purchase was like that. All the downstairs electrical fittings were taken, i.e switches sockets and light fittings. Only bare wires left

Great name! There's a touch of the vintage about that photo which, itself, acts as an echo of the Silver Yacht era.

Gotta laugh at the nickel-and-diming: "eBay - one marina plug; used item, $5.00. Buyer collects"

Really p!55ing off. When I collected Rafiki's keys, the previous owner had removed the stb side fenders. WTF? It is not the cost, just the hassle factor. Apparently I'd negotiated an additional £1000 below his expectation, so this was payback! Bizarre. However they did leave an old toilet seat in the locker under the bed.........
Just in case.........

Great name!

Yes, and suitably long .
