Janet S Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Yes, the boat is close by and the mooring couldn't be better... We have a dry dock and surveyor booked for the first week in October, but I don't anticipate any problems as she's been very well maintained. I'll be very surprised if the survey shows any problems. Just counting down the days now! Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire~rose Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I am not happy about this! It has been far too long since you borrowed Carrie~Lou, her brass is getting tarnished and I have got so tired of waiting for you to come and clean out the cupboards for me that I have had to start doing it myself. Now you tell me that you are getting your own boat! ......and once upon a time I thought we had crew we could rely on .......... the times have changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet S Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 We were bursting with excitement when we won the mooring...goodness knows what will happen when we sign for the boat! Cheshire~Rose, I'm sure I bottomed your cupboards about three years ago...surely they can't need doing again? Oh well...perhaps we'll have to have a pootle down to meet up with you!
