Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Friday. Some cloud lurking, but we should see the sun too. I hope so!
Nothing on the calendar for today, only the usual running around and a bit of shoplifting. Just as well 'cos I feel like a day of idleitis. Some hopes. A four pint pile of ironing for starters!
Heavier cloud coming in now. :o{
Anyone doing anything interesting today?

They have had it restored as it was abandoned on the edge of American waters during a storm and ended up on the reefs of Bermuda. This is it: https://4eyv3j1kjdal4fnv6o3iiksn-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/main-page-image-1.jpg

must have cost them a pretty penny to restore, she is beautiful.

[emmie]

i wish i was a good sea farer, but im not, get sick just going round a duck pond.

[emmie]

are you going to go out on her, that would be the icing on the cake.

On board one of the others - with its restoration, they have increased the size of the living area by going forward - it's now a motorboat, so they have gained the winch space - the detailing is incredible and aboard they have an island cooking area cum bar area, built in ovens, tv, fridges inc wine fridges and down below a washing machine and dryer....they have also put in a stern deck on hydraulics, so that they can lower to launch a RIB and then there's a dining table that pops out too - the deck is raised to the cabin height to lay it up and prepare the meal - then can be lowered down so that folk can easily go in and out of the sea as to dips.....

maybe emmie....yep, they have spent quite a bit on restoring it - it was $2.5 million when new but with what they have spent, they are sitting on quite a net gain if they were ever to sell her.

here's a photo of as was when it comes to the cabin.... https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e7/de/5e/e7de5e9ca1f15907db7bc8b7512b35a1.jpg

[emmie]

i wouldn't sell her, she is quite something. I would go on board if she was moored up.

[emmie]

that's amazing.

[DTCwordfan]

They won't be selling her - certainly not for a long time.....M collects boats like people collect cars.

[emmie]
