No Boat

The day after Boxing day and another big meal, to much food and not enough fresh air.

 I haven't driven or been on a boat for a whole week. This old pirate needs the gentle rocking of a boat under his feet. I sold Limpet my little Orkney Strike liner and i'm looking for something bigger alot bigger..
The boat in the pic is a Princess V78, we lifted it just before Christmas. No that's not me, that's my mate Wally. Hope you all having a nice Xmas and have a great New Year.

Hello World

I'm going to try blogging. I just want to put it all down some where. Me what i do, why. Why do people do things the hard way. I watch and think Wow that was close. Boats, i love watching people driving boats.
 I drive boats, its what i do, sometimes it goes well and the odd time it doesn't .
I get to drive other people boats, all different types, from old folk boats to Swan 65. From small fishing boats upto Princess 23 mtr and large Sunseekers.
I'm very lucky, i have a great Wife, two fab kids, boy and girl and a really old house and a 20 year DIY plan.
I want to buy an old fishing boat hull and fit it out.

Today's 32 ton Swan 65 and that's me driving. Totally confident and a little nervous.
