If only boats had wheels

Thousands of them do. I know of one couple who used an ex WWll amphibious jeep to sail round the world crossing oceans and deserts. Their name was the Carlins and were my top heroes when I was young. He actually rebuilt the engine mid ocean one time. I read and re-read his book a dozen times. Another couple called Schröder also did a circumnavigation in (I think it was also a jeep). In the hero worship of youth I scorned them as "up-starts" as a challenge to the Carlins who I considered the epitomy of fearless adventurers.

It was also a hobby of GI's while waiting for D-day to send new spare parts of the entire Jeep home to re-assemble after the war. So many war heroes they set a high standard to follow.

Hang on a minute, Salesman with Port and starboard colour braces and pink trousers.

Nice boat though..

Captain Q as he styles himself is not a salesman, he just seems to wander round other peoples boats for sale, making films and talking about the pros / cons of the boat. In return the vendor gets a bit of extra attention for their potential sale. Actually looking at boats with no real intention of buying but wanting to have a lot of discussion about it… could Captain W be the West European franchisee?

No my braces are all one colourhttps://www.milanuncios.com/veleros/velero-406308982.htm. This example of well executed Galician boatbuilding,should full fill your desires for a world girdler……already past the Biscay in position to meet the killer whales off Portugal

He was actually a boat salesman and then an independent yachtbroker before he retired. Also came from enough money to be involved in the new England offshore racing scene with his family boat. Seems to have disappeared recently. He was not very well the tail end of last year, took a break and then did a few more episodes and stopped. Shame as it was my late night Thursday fix. Also a Jaguar man S Type and XK8
