Boat Sitting

[Chris Pink]

I know of a couple who are looking for a boat sitter for a traditional pair in the summer, mid june for a month or so.

 

This is not a beginner's gig at all, nor is it very likely to be suitable for a single person.

 

No money involved but I am told a practical frame of mind will be needed and "preference will definitely be extended to those with paintbrush skills".

 

PMs please.

So they want people to come and paint the boat and fix any problems they find and For This they will provide free accommodation

Seems a fair swap to me.

 

When you don't have a boat of your own but you're addicted to boating, you'll take just about any chance you can to get afloat!

A great opportunity I agree. No money changing hands means no complications, for any body with the time and a bit of experience...

Have you asked Caprifool? He may not have spotted this post, he's boat-sat for a few forum members that I know of.

I'm wondering if part of the deal is that a pair of boats will need moving on from time to time?

I did catch that bit but I thought there might be wiggle room in the 'very likely' bit, depending on the person, and that he might be worth asking. If it's not a match, no harm, no foul!

I have to admit Caprifool was my first thought but the "beginner" added to the "single person" combined for me to think again .... huge pity really but then maybe he can team up with someone else?

To be honest, the looking after the boats, and probably moving once or twice, in return for the accomodation, is fair. Expecting to paint aswel is a bit naughty..

Hmmm......sorry, I'm booked for mid June already And even if I wasn't, I feel I lack the experience for this type of equipage. Marvellous opportunity for the right person though!

Looking at the colour of that 'beer' and the head on it, I'll be drinking something else!
