just musings

We're not sailing this weekend, as SWMBO has work commitments.... so it'll be a weekend of gardening (in the loosest sense of the word), and stopping the house from falling down.... forecast isn't looking great either, so i'm less bothered about it than I was..... besides the following weekend, we've got a 4 day weekend, and a trip across to Oostende planned...Anyway.....I've spent a good chunk of the evening mooching around eBay looking at tenders.... we had planned to build one in the garage, but i've (for once) had a reality check, and relaised that I just don't have time.... i'm either working., recovering from working, or on the boat.... and in the winter, i've usually already got a plenty big enough 'to-do' list without adding another mammoth project.... secondly, when i've costed a project up, it really isn't cheap... so onto eBay... there are quite a few appealing tender/dinghies on there... and tonight a part finished one has appeared that is 'collect only', and only 10mins from my work.... it looks lovely.... is well on the way to completion.... and fits our requirements perfectly...Will keep you posted!
