Most of you will be aware we have upgraded the Moody 49 – we had 3 crew, Monkey, Tea Time and Graham bring her back from Tobago and on July 6 we drove her round to Ancasta at Port Hamble, after renting a lock up and off loading all our belongings (really hard work) and did the part exchange deal.

A few days later Super Suzie our new Suzie Too Number 3 (still to be called Suzie Too) arrives by Convoi Exceptionnel from the Waquiez factory near Lille and the French drivers do an excellent job  With 2 escort drivers holding up the traffic, taking down the small lanes into Port Hamble to be fitted out – the shot outside the pub is just great – just like her crew, never far from a beer !!
