Since returning from the rally trip, it's all seemed a bit dull. We didn't really have any plans as to what to do next!
We spent the following weekend on the boat, we've had a leak into the engine room from our waste discharge pipe, the Piper guys have fixed it for us, but it was a most unpleasant job, I've cleaned the area again and we've an odour neutralizer in the bilge, hopefully that will sort it.
I've been tinkering with some bits and pieces and making sure we carry adequate spares to survive a long trip without any serious grief!
We're going to cruise by the regatta at Henley next weekend and we're in the process of organizing long weekend trips with various family and friends, so my PCD is receding as we get some shape back into our cruising plans.
I'm very keen to hear about Providence's trip to the Norfolk Broads, I really fancy that for next year when we set off for ur 4 Months aboard in the summer, something to really look forward to.
We need to find a way of raising the back of our chartplotter so the screen can be seen more easily, especially by Penny. We also need to think about things we might want on board for a long trip, such as tender & outboard, stern anchor, gadget to assist with mooring to a buoy and I'm sure much, much more. We'd also like a couple of bikes and maybe a BBQ, but it's where to put it all, something to have a think on over the winter!!
See you soon, Tim & Penny.
Hi John,
ReplyDeleteWe are considering the plunge into Piper ownership and are concerned about a few questions that only a Piper owner can give an actual reply, obviously if we speak to the sales team that these are not an issue but once we make the plunge we have sold out house etc. and it would be a very expensive and possibly no going back position.
Could you please contact Andrea at Piper and ask for my contact details to be passed to you so that I could ask you a few things? I have just signed up to Piper newsletter - Bob Gilliver
If you are still in the Kent area we live in Kent, could we impose a brief visit to you and indulge a cup of coffee so we could ask our questions or even over a call?
Hi Bob, it's Tim actually! We are now back in Caversham, would be happy to meet or chat, contact me 07795956936 or t.cadle@btinternet.com
