The Corsican

[CheshireCat]

Hello everyone just to let you all known myself that's Geoffrey and my friend Steve , we are now the very happy new owners of The Corsican ...

 

 

We kept it all very quiet until the deal was sealed , we picked her up on Saturday and we are over the moon with this truly fantastic boat ...

 

 

So if you see us about please give us a wave , even better come and have a tea or a coffee or if you fancy something stronger l am sure we can find something ...

 

Thank You And kind Regards

 

Geoffrey & Steve & Austin the guide dog...

Brilliant, I am so pleased you got this lovely boat.

[MauriceMynah]

Great! I'm delighted to read that the Corsican is "staying in the family"

Wishing you all the best with her, and I look forwards to hearing you perform again.

Well done Geoffrey.

As you can see, we kept our promise to keep quiet

Congratulations from us. I bet Austin finds it easier to get on and off, mind you he didn't really have a problem with the new/old boat when he got used to it, did he!  Regards Alan and Eve

Thanks guys you're all very kind ...

[BroadScot]

May I offer my congratulations. I hope you have many happy times on your lovely new boat.  As MM said, nice to see it "staying in the family"

Oh, just one small point Geoffrey,

You do realise that as the boat was advertised and therefore bought and sold via the forum, you are honour bound to sing us a song sometime. :)

Hmmm, the thought has just occurred to me that normally it would be the seller who would pay any commission. I have never heard Simon sing...and...well... well, I've got this kind of hunch, which, not to put too finer point to it, I'd rather listen to Geoffrey sing.... well in fact I suspect I'd rather hear Dyllan than Simon!

 

I do accept I might be wrong, Simon might have the voice of an angel. I've never been that close to his bath to find out!

John, you got the first bit right, I've always enjoyed music and listening to other singers, fortunately I haven't had to listen to myself

[CheshireCat]

Yes my old boat is for sale at waterside guys thanks...

[Springsong]

Well done to you both / all. Enjoy your new boat, having spent a few night on her I can vouch for the comfort and the hospitality of the previous owners second to none, legendary even, long may it continue in her new ownership.

You need to update your avatar now. Is Austin a lab?

[CheshireCat]

Hi Austin is a cross lab retriever

[Mandybstorm]

Congratulations! Hope you have many good trips in her. Xx

[SteveO]

Hi and congratulations.  I saw her in NYA the other weekend and she looked very handsome.  

 

Enjoy!

"Hi Austin is a cross lab retriever"

 

Geoffrey, Please stop saying things to Austin that makes him cross! He's doing his best.

[LondonRascal]

It all reminds me of Erik Weihenmayer, the first blind man to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

 

He said the hardest part of his climb was the last two hundred metres.

Now you're talking, what a cracking boat, well done you pair - great choice.  I was a bit concerned that your previous vessel might ber a challenge for you getting on and off when stern moored what with your 'Hawkeye' issues. No such problems now.

 

The challenge in front of you is maintaining her to the high standard set by her previous owners, one which I'm sure you will enjoy.

 

Well done and congratulations once again - proper happy for you, including Austin!

Thanks to all on this forum for your kind messages , we have always admired The Corsican but we reality can't believe that we now own her , she is a big commitment to take and I know at times will be hard work but I've never been shy of getting stuck in , we are now just looking forward to all the great times we will have with her ,once again thanks for the great comments ...
