See John, Freeman owners are NICE people.

Well done Gavi, and best wishes for Shikara's speedy recovery from the BBM. (Bray Birchwood Massive!).

The final plan appears to be as follows:

Leave work at 4 PM arrive at Bray at 4:45 PM

Scrounge lift 15 miles to Caversham, attend Marina party (Result eh?)

Depart Reading next morning, est journey time 6-8 hours

Arrive at Bray approx 4-5 PM

So, with your imminent departure from T&K and taking all things into consideration, then all in all, Bray Marinas' loss is T&K's gain

Thats funny, T&K said that too.

I'll have a game of 'Marina pinball' on the way just for that....

Now, in the old days David Sheriff would have had your length reconfirmed (by Ron) and not let you leave before you had paid up for any discrepancies in their figures.

In the old days, I would have been paying a lot less per metre

For the record, the annual contract was for a longer boat than the current one, and the berth was empty for around two months while Shamby was for sale.

I must be owed a few quid on your assumption!

There's never much to be gained when all the boats I owned had the length in the name, such as the Shetland 570, Rio 26 and now the Birchwood 25.

Bray are actually going to measure a Birchwood 25...get that!

I wouldn't mind if I was trying to sneak in with a Birchwood 22, but the 25 was the longest one of that kind.

Mind you, I might have done a cut n'shut I suppose.
