Me....just waiting for a nice day or two to have a blast out to the Needles or maybe Cowes. You miss some fab days in the winter if you're boats out of the water. Mine stays in till about March then out for a week or so...bit of paint on the bum and a hull polish, service, probably an outdrive rebuild or two
Don't you love outdrive boats! At least they consistently need tlc.

Me and I usually see in the New Year aboard watching firework displays but perhaps there won´t be any because of the financial situation - I must check.

Weather Permitting.......
We have planned to be in Yarmouth on Boxing Day on our new (to us) Princess 42 (Fly). Boxing Day will be our 1st venture out on the new boat. Plan is to have lunch in "The George", visit other social hostelries in the vicinity and then stay overnight. If we make it give us a call......you will be made welcome. Other boat with us will be a Camargue 50 HT.

Which Princess 42
I believe she was Brixham based up until September 2011, then she was brought up to Swanwick.
We are really pleased with her..........virtually unmarked and just 219 hours. Survey found very little. Princess Brokers have been great........really looking forward to getting our hands on it.............it's virtually 4 years since we sold our last boat so missed the banter in and around the Solent etc. ..........it's going to be a great 2012 !!!!!

I went out today, it was very quiet on the Hamble. The air was still and the water calm, I rowed around Port Hamble Marina as they have removed the pontoons for dredging.
