little suprises vs long journey

Always found the further you travel the bigger the pile of junk that awaits you.
Went to look at a boat built by JCL marine the geezer wanted 30k for it.Prob worth 3k and well past its sink by date.Worst waste of 350 miles by me ever.

And here is the weekend weather..
