Mulling over the future...and what's in store.

Having spent the last few weeks in and out of hospital I have had time to reflect, weigh up my options and possible future plans.

I've decided to throw caution to the wind...sod it, you're only here once.

I had planned to move to move to Spain...that'll happen unless I kick it first.

I also planned to eventually(10 years or so from now) buy a sailing yacht and cross the Atlantic to the BVI's....and cruise for a couple or more years.

Sod it......anyone fancy going half on a project?
Ok, I'm joking about sharing.

I love the old trawler style boats

I really like it and the finished article could be like this.

Nothing wrong with dreaming Tpin, a bit of escapism helps the day go by sometimes.

Re: Mulling over the future...and what's in store.

Tpin, I think that moving to Spain is still a great idea because the weather will be good for you, the food is healthy if you eat their typical menus and you have lots of great memories there.
(Plus you could invite all your friends on OFF to join you if you felt lonely )
However I do feel that, after recent health problems, sailing across the Atlantic is a NO NO! It is time you realized that life doesn't have to be adventurous, to be good

Hey don't you encourage him Doc, he had an operation on his spine so keeping him in hospital is hard enough work, without you encouraging him to do more damage!

Re: Mulling over the future...and what's in store.

I fear making a mistake so I'll ask is that a boat or a ship ? Which ever it is once you are fit and healthy again go for if I say, as you've already found life can throw things at you at times so do what you can while you still feel able.

It's a boat.
It's all to do with size...I use this
A boat can go on a ship, a ship cannot go on a boat.
