Good point.

Burly is for the anchor. Perhaps I need two bosuns...

Hey you're still here.... good to see you!

Just got back from a couple of sails around Scotland and Wales... weird having to wear so many clothes on a cruise! Where are you now?

Still in Portugal Saucy.. gone CLOD as delivery work dried up during and since Covid.

Congratulations, you’ve made a great choice.

Can you move the boat to Malaysia before starting refit work? No import duties and generally more reliable vendors. Consider Pangkor or Langkawi.

Are you on the FB Sail SE Asia group? Great information source for the area.

So BAM - here I am now, given a choice between the other half and the boat, I have finally broken away and chosen the boat! Yes! Although he did get her in the divorce settlement, I'm buying her back! And now I've got to go and do a maintenance trip (she's lying in Phuket) all by myself without a burly skipper to fix the engine when it breaks... oh my. Yes, I'm a little wary of that one, so I'll be around begging for help and advice!

What an unexpected pleasure! Welcome back! Your friends have missed you!
