... "Flying Pig" wrote in message ... ... We haven't decided whether we're more excited or nervous, having been nearly 2 years since we used our sailing skills in our 40,000 pound home. ... 40,000 pounds!!!! OMG. She IS a pig. LOL! My fine yacht, fully loaded, only weighs in at 8,200 pounds as measured by the last travel lift haul out. Better lay in a supply of Dramamine. After being a lubber for two years you might find yourself seasick for the first couple of days. Good luck and please don't scrape off any bottom paint on the way out. -- Sir Gregory Oops. In the slings this time, it's more like 44k, without any water and a light fuel load... No problems about the collywobbles so far :{)) Lydia's mom and housemate here for lunch...

I bet you'll be pulling your hair out the first time you dive down to examine the bottom after about six months and you see new blisters pooching out. -- Sir Gregory |
