Is now berthed in Hartlepool with new owners , I said my farewells to her yesterday and much as I have enjoyed my time as a boat owner the last ten years, she won't be replaced. I can't manage the maintenance and work involved in keeping a boat any more and Ive decided to call it a day with boat ownership.
I'll still be looking in to see how you are all getting on, and don't worry, now that my boat has gone, it's guaranteed to be a bumper year for cod and flat lazy seas
Tight lines everyone , and be safe

Sad news Ray, hope everything goes ok for you in the future and you still manage to get out fishing with someone once and a while. Whoever has bought her has got a superb boat.

Hiya Ray,

That's sad news mate. If you drop me a PM with your mobile I will give you a tinkle when I am going off next season if you fancy it. All being well I will be back on the water next season with a new boat.

Graham.

All the best Ray whatever your future endeavours are, sad day for you mate. Don't be a stranger on here though.

Thanks lads, I won't be able to not look in here ive got so used to it over the last few years , last year was a bad one for me with two knee ops and the wife having a major foot operation virtually wiped the season out. I'm walking about again though and I can sleep at night instead of rolling about in pain all night so it was worth it . Just need to get back to normal now.
I've pm'd you Graham, thanks for the offer
