chomp my root Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I find it best to "test the water" with my thumb prior to going "dangerously close"..... "Standby to repel boarders" passes as foreplay if you're flying the Jolly Roger mate, honest ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endieinreekie Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 No.We've all invested a lot emotionally in the progress of your boat, the very least you could do is have a soiree to celebrate its completion with all your friends who have supported you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endieinreekie Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 By letting you all sink it?! Yeah, but what a way to go. Just like the Bismarck's last hurrah on the open seas, if you have a hugely memorable party then it would all be worthwhile. That, plus your £2 million insurance payout. #partyonthebarge 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGR Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Were you on manoeuvres yesterday sjc? The bridge was up as I was passing the canal at lunchtime yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Were you on manoeuvres yesterday sjc? The bridge was up as I was passing the canal at lunchtime yesterday. I wasn't mate......noticed there was a hire boat in the basin last night so the bridge was probably up for that. I'm having the engine on mine serviced next week so won't be sailing til after then. Renovations agonisingly close to completion though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) I wasn't mate......noticed there was a hire boat in the basin last night so the bridge was probably up for that. I'm having the engine on mine serviced next week so won't be sailing til after then. Renovations agonisingly close to completion though! I suggest a coffee and cakes (Patisserie Valerie, natch....) at Chez sjc and then a small sherry at, say, Bennett's to celebrate the relaunch of L'Atalante. Sorry, for those who don't know, Bennett's is a boozer in Tollcross. I wasn't for a moment suggesting that we congregate at Vicky the Viking's gaff.

Whilst it's a cheaper initial outlay than a flat the mooring fees are circa £4000pa, boats can vary in price.......mine was circa £40k with around £20k spent on renovating it. You have to have to have it surveyed/maintained every 4 years......the dry dock costs £750/week on its own......it's not as cheap as you'd expect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
