And Finally...

Well, Missy Moto has departed for pastures new with a very nice young man from Fleetwood in Lancashire. I had decided that my remaining sailing time is limited being of somewhat mature years and spending even one more month of that limited time fixing up a boat was more than I was prepared to do even assuming I had the remotest capability of doing the work which I haven't. I know my limitations. Anyway she's gone and for this I must thanks the excellent Corribee.org website whose webmaster kindly featured the little tub's plight on the front page. So she remains in the family, as it were, her new owner has promised to keep the world informed of her progress and I look forward to reading about that.
I'm afraid I'm deserting Corribees/Coromandels for a Drascombe which will, I trust, give me the desired amount of coastal sailing and creek crawling I was aiming for with Missy Moto. My two comrades in arms having beaten a strategic retreat after Missy's concrete escapades will be joining me as guests on these excursions and we're all hoping for a better or at least less crap sailing year in 2013. There may well be another blog with a different name so don't think you're getting away that easy.
A bientot!
