No Regrets
Well-Known Member
Ladies, gentlemen and forumites.
I feel the end of an era may have come to an abrupt end
Subject to a river trial, and my favourite Brokers quick shufty around our beloved Brooms nether regions, we have purchased a new Boat
We have enjoyed three lovely trouble free years with No Regrets, other than a tiny incident with a split high pressure fuel pipe, which didn't stop us from getting home under the power of the infamous Wing engine, and only cost £60 to replace.
She has see us through 'Top crew, Top Skipper, Top newcomers, Top Family entrants with Bray CC and the highly coveted Top boat, in the very last TVR rally due to her easy going nature and impeccable stability in all weathers, and seen us trundle up and down between Abingdon and the Thames Barrier all at under a gallon an hour. She was awarded top boat in the Bray Concours D'Elegance last year, and has attracted many compliments by other Boaters and even Pedestrians at almost every lock she has visited.
Sadly, the time has come to open another chapter in our boating, and for this we feel another vessel is more appropriate.
I can't bring myself to take her name away though, as it suits her so much, I have never regretted one moment of owning or using her, so the name 'No Regrets' is being sold with the boat, as it would be so wrong to take it away, and place it upon anything else.
So, what do I do?
Keep the forum name 'No Regrets?' which you have all come to love/hate over the years or change it to the forthcoming vessels new name?
Or reinvent myself as something new completely?
I feel torn, and need guidance from the learned people on here (Note 'Learned' which admittedly discounts most of you, especially Chrusty, Cuchillo, Apollo, Ramage, Oldgit, and anybody else with a vowel in their name) The rest of you are of course welcome...
