23. Make a LONG list of all the jobs you want to do on her and then 10 years later when you buy your next one realise you only got 25% of them done and you need to finish the other 75% in order to sell her BEFORE you start on the long list for your new 'un!

1. Visit it at 2130 on a winter's evening because you are convinced that it is sinking.

2. Visit it at 1030 the following morning just to make sure that it is really all right.

3. ...

3 wipe all the rain and snow off so the paint doesn't blister.

27 - Realise what a small amount of 'stuff' you atually need after spending a lifetime accumilating it. It's like when you go travelling, pack the minimum that you think you'll need then reduce it by 50% and you'll still be taking too much, moving onto a boat is much the same, just on a larger scale.

 

28 - Know what it really means to be chilled and relaxed.....

29 - Fill the fridge full of beer and live off tinned food.
