Heffalump Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 About 10 years ago, after a couple of NB holidays, I started work with a hire fleet as I wanted something more than standing behind the bar at a golf club. I thoroughly enjoyed it and caught the NB bug. Next week I will be finally sending in an application for a marine mortgage, with the intention of buying a liveaboard with my fiancee. There's not really much point to this thread, I'm just excited. I shall probably enlist the help of the forum in looking for boats if I am successful, as we're looking for a diamond in the rough at the bottom end of the market. If it's declined I'll probably just sulk for a while 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshire cat Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Go for it. I was thinking about the long term tonight too. Do I just replace the cracked top of my Morso Squirrel or do I assume its all reaching end of life and buy a new stove. Your decisions are going to be much more exciting.
