almost looks identical, only in a different colour and with different stickers.

[BroadAmbition]

I hope Tanya or Tim gave you the 10% discount for being a forum member.

No, they didn’t, I didn’t ask either

That’s a shame I would have popped in but currently convalescing 165 miles away. Good luck guys can’t wait to see you afloat.

Hi to the person who is doing all the Organising that's Griff I believe don't forget Breakfast/Lunch and Dinner plus refreshments for Fogging away on Broad Ambition.

[BroadAmbition]

'Person doing all the organising' - Project manager - That'll be me then as per the norm

Daily B'fast and Lunches are already organised for the team which the owner skippers will cover / take care of.  Evening scran and venues will be sorted out between the lot of us

 

There are now eight of us 'Signed Up' (Not all at the same time).  One of whom I have yet to meet, he is ex-RN, served 1978 - 2014 so we were in at the same time for some of those years, nowt unusual in that.  What is unusual is that he was a fully confirmed genuine Rear Admiral by the time he left (unlike the media armchair Admirals)

That puts him eleven ranks above my lowly level and only four behind 'The Boss' (HM Queen)!

Looking forward to meeting him, even more so when he asks me for a job to accomplish on our list - 

'Certainly Sir and thanks for asking, I've got just the job for you - Deep bilge cleaning' 

For the first time since 1976, Griff gets to detail off a Rear Admiral into doing bilge cleaning   I might even photo /  film this inaugural rare event!

Griff

P.S - The maintenance items list now up to forty three

[Andrewcook]

Hi, Griff how many weeks do think all this will take to complete all those tasks at hand to be done and proudly see Broad Ambition looking at very best once again, 

[BroadAmbition]

Sailing from t wetshed to return, I have allocated twenty three days. Historically we have never achieved a 100% list ticked off. This AMP could be a first

What like "boat" and "finished" in the same sentence? Now you're just being silly!

I think that is just so cool to be able to tell a Rear Admiral what to do, and not be at risk of a Court Martial in the process

Just a quick reminder that the Seagull Café is not open on a Wednesday or Sunday. I am sure you have factored that in though :)

Bushells on Westwood Avenue do a good bacon roll for a Wednesday snack.

You are not allowed to list the fenders for cleaning individually just to make the job seem bigger

Hi as to having Breakfast /Lunch/ evening meal? why can you bring in a Camping Stove and do the Freshly Bacon or Sausage Rolls/ Sandwich on the spot with a Mug of Tea or Coffee with a bit of Navy Rum in it as this saves you all don't have to go off site and get these Forty Five Jobs tick off.

But you do have to give the Rear Admiral something to do ...
