.. so after our last post where we'd placed an offer on the boat. We had a response by 9 am he following morning, and had the survey completed the next week. Trev used this as a brilliant way to get to know the boat, with all of her faults. The rigging needs replacing, the …
We need to talk about last night ….
This was how the entry to the log book started. What an eventful night, got some great pictures and I think we'll be able to cope in those circumstances again! We planned a route to take us to an anchorage across the other details of Mljet so we could take a different line back to …
An offer they can’t refuse … but probably will
