Lock down has a lot to answer for. During lockdown I decided to have a small but tricky job which was long overdue done properly on my Orkney 520 "Whitewash". When I dropped her off at Orkney Boats I liked the look of a PH20 they had waiting to go to Scotland. A friend was looking at Smartliners & so I was browsing the boat sale pages & I found a lovely PH20. (2017). Having lost some friends to non covid stuff over the last couple of years - the wife said "treat yourself you are not getting any younger". Once my misunderstanding of what she meant had been cleared up ? The rest is history.
Sadly I now have to sell "Whitewash" after I pick her up next week & for some reason I feel really guilty. Like I have betrayed her.

Porcellus - is Latin for "Little Pig" - so she (the boat) is now known as "Porky"

[QUOTE="Coxy, post: 55794, member: 427"] Lock down has a lot to answer for. During lockdown I decided to have a small but tricky job which was long overdue done properly on my Orkney 520 "Whitewash". When I dropped her off at Orkney Boats I liked the look of a PH20 they had waiting to go to Scotland. A friend was looking at Smartliners & so I was browsing the boat sale pages & I found a lovely PH20. (2017).
