Sometimes Life can be really hard!

I've just been contacted by an "owner" that hopes to take delivery of his new boat within the next month.

He wants me to help him move it from the Hamble to the Medway (delivery trip).

What is the boat - a brand new Grand Soleil 53 c/w just about everything.

Ice in your G & T sir - no probs - I'm not joking the blo**y thing has an ice maker aboard.

1500 squids for the cooker - jezzs give me a break.

I've agreed to to the job - not because of the boat but because the owner is a really nice guy and a friend.

Peter.

Need a crew?

1: It will be easterly and breezy

2: Something will break/jam/not work/fall off (BECAUSE the boat is new!)

Enjoy....

Peter (aka Smug Git),

Tough.

Ice will form on deck obviating the need for:
a) Ice maker
b) Gin and tonic

...at which point the £1.5k stove comes into its own for boiling the kettle. Every eventuality covered! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Enjoy your passage, but be sure to tell us about it, coz there will be "incidents & accidents" (with apologies to Paul Simon) to entertain us.

You're probably right on both counts.

The biggest problem is finding a berth for the dam thing in any marina - most fingers only stretch to the cockpit.
