I have been informed that our new boat is progressing well and that "Wolf" is all but sorted.
It's amazing the amount of stuff you have to consider when building a boat, and in fairness how much you learn.
Humber whom are making the hull assure me that the build went well, and having even allowed for a few extra tweaks and improvements should have the boat in Wales by next Monday. I can almost hear a sigh of relief.
In the mean time Quinquari have all but sorted the electronics and await said Hull. There is more stuff connected to more stuff on this boat than I care to think about. The real question is do I need a handheld compass?
Things you consider when building/buying a boat....
- Every penny you spend is multiplied by 3 when the wifey starts factoring in what's in it for her and how much she can spend in return.Keeping out of the divorce courts is nigh on impossible........ and it's all your fault.
- Boat builders in Wales have no appreciation how much effort it takes to buy a new bed...
- Man boob's never go away, they lurk..!
- It take a lot longer and more effort than you could ever imagine to get fit!
- You need at least 5 pairs of shorts and 5 t-shirts to stay ahead of the washing cycle..
- Flying to or from Cardiff is expensive........
- Petrol is always a bad decision.....
We persist......... hopefully the sun will shine.
