So glad you were the first to see this Anne. I am often asked if I miss those days. I don't. Life has moved on. The refits became increasingly harder because living on a pusser's pension meant that we had to save hard and could only afford to do them every two years, which meant a lot of work. This one lasted over 2 months. You can see we got out of the marina the day we went back in the water, hence the radar, sails, wind generator etc. not shipped up and there was no window in the brand new heads either!! After 18 years Cheralie had had enough and Tom had outgrown his bunk after 9 years afloat. It was time to grow some land legs.
@@themountainway8781 completely understand. It's a wise thing to know when stop and when it's the right time to change and move on. Boats are hard work, but wooden boats even harder and more expensive to maintain. My old clinker 20' fishing boat Sally B went to new owners back in 2019. I couldn't keep her seaworthy anymore and I am slowing down too. It was sad to see her go, but what a relief not to have the worry anymore! We both enjoyed watching MFL and the family on board, she was a lovely boat.
@@annecholawo3385 I have been blessed with the opportunties that have come my way and the friends I have. Life's great adventure continues. You and Robert exemplify this. p.s. the editing rehearsal that became this film has now spawned the real film "The Mountain Way Celebrates 10 years". I uploaded it last night.
They were Bob, and I have not forgotten the time you saved MFL from a beasting in a nasty south east gale in Exmouth dock by stuffing planks etc. between her and the steel walls. Good skills brother.
And I still have my own copy of the video's! 👍🤗
God bless you all.
As for the wedding photo..... I was there!!!! 👍
Wow!!!!!!
I could watch videos of boats at sea and dogs all day... To have both in one video, awesome! Bitter sweet video...❤
