Southampton Boat Show – Day
Two
Another fantastic breakfast at our
digs, after we bade our farewells to our landlord and landlady and moved the car
to Westquay – all day parking for five pounds. We spent an hour of ‘fix time’ in
Marks and Spencer and then walked over to the Show. Again, spookily quiet but
the sun was shining. Bear settled with a really informative
chap to find a Serpentine Pulley for the crankshaft, that’ll be a blue
job then.
I got a pink job ticked off by
finding this waterproof and stain resistant material
to re-upholster the girl, next time I’m here I’ll order and take it back with
me. Just as well as not chosen the colour yet.
We met the lovely
Sonja who gave up a high-flying job in the City to market her Sacqua’s.
Really useful, huge bags that fold flat and can carry just about everything we
need to shift about on Beez, soon had one tucked under our arm. Good Luck to
Sonja, a fantastic idea.
We took a stroll down to the pontoon and took in the sea air.
So few people
about, we went on a few of the usual suspects to see what was new.
Perhaps the nicest was a small Bavaria.
It was rather nice to bimble about
taking things boating, we saw a traditional girl and
a car carrier behind a yacht being taken through her
paces.
A taste of Black
Doktor and we wended our way.
Tired and with aching feet we had no
resistance when it came to sponsoring this gorgeous little
chap.
Sunset en
route to Team Tinson, our final UK stop for 2017.
ALL IN ALL A SUNNY AND
ENJOYABLE DAY
REMAINED VERY QUIET BUT VERY
USEFUL |
