Flying or Sailing....part 2
A few will remember my post a few weeks ago with regard a move from sailing back into flying.
Well today I have just discovered my yacht has been sold...
to be honest I now feel a little lost and feel like a part of my body has been cut off. She looked after me well through both good time's and bad and I know I will miss her like crazy...but now I look forward to a new adventure in life. Its through both my day job ( Scottish Information ) and the enthusiasm of folk on here that I may take the step back into the air.......I guess I will need the encouragement of you all along the way but today a new story in my life is about to unfold!

I'm sure you know perfectly well the old saw that there are only two happy days in a boatowner's life - the day that he buys the boat and the day that he sells her!
Good luck and VMT for your many very entertaining posts.

PS There's always charter ......

It's a buyers market in the motor boat world at the moment. We looked at one recently marked up at £24,950(6 berth/twin diesels); the salesman said 'make an offer, you'll get it for 18 or 19 thousand'. We actually bought a different one for a bit more, but still a bargain.
You can get a 4 berth for as little as £6,000 to £10,000 at the moment, especially if it's petrol engined.

Remember, if it flys, floats or f###s, it's cheaper to rent!
Only if you aren't bothered about who else has been f~~~~~~g it
