Guest Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 After almost three years of family problems and health problems, and if lady luck doesn't interfere, we are leaving the marina on Sunday! Dunno quite where we are heading and don't care, but we will plod along from one decent place to another. We have lived aboard for a couple of years now which have been great despite the problems, but can't wait to get underway. The new gearbox I fitted almost three years ago has done about 1 mile. Also a good time to get the camera out again. Hope to see some of you out and about; I owe one or two a pint The last couple of years have taught me a few things, but not least that life is too short to waste on bullshit (Steph Campbell quote but very apt.)

Between my brain haemorrhage in 2017 and the workplace stress that was really beginning to take its toll on my wife around the same time, we quickly gained all the perspective we needed to sell up, move aboard and get cruising. Nine months in now and loving it. Enjoy your travels! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrose Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Not another bridge hopper without a mooring! ? Just kidding, I'm jealous. Wish I had to balls to pack in my job, leave the mooring and just cruise off into the sunset. Good luck, enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Thanks peeps, your comments are noted and appreciated. A bit of tidying up to do, trip to local Asda, dump the arthritic car at our son's house, and off in the morning. Nothing too adventurous owing to my better half's health issues, but hey, we'll be on the move again, and that is all that matters to us. Will probably use a mooring for the worst months, probably even the current one, but we will cross that bridge later. Might find another one somewhere.

Yes, but if you have misbehaved on this forum then you get to come back somewhat less attractive and probably a lot furier or scalier! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
