I’ve forgotten the boat keys before now, luckily that was when the syndicate was still were managed by a company that had a local agent who lent us his keys.

Another MS syndicate owner recently owned up to forgetting the keys, fortunately they don’t have such a long journey from home to MS. In response, other members offered up the info that they actually store the boat keys in their car so that they can’t inadvertently forget them…that sounds like a very good idea!

We've got halfway to norfolk and realised we'd forgotten the keys before,  luckily there's always a door key stowed somewhere on most boats.....

Not saying where, ignition keys are another matter, they are normally stowed safely in the ignitions.....
