Well, it has taken a while, and some long sleepless nights, weighing up all the Pro's & Cons, but I have now made the life changing move and am now living aboard 'Caberfeidh'.
Yes, just over 2 weeks ago now, on my return from our winter holiday, I packed all my winter woolies and boating bits & pieces that I'd collected over the past few months, and headed down to the boat. Brenda wasn't surprised, as it was all I talked about whilst in the Dominican Republic ( a bribe or a going away present)?,but I think she realised where my heart was.
I arrived at Stoke Prior to what felt like arctic conditions, considering 2 days previous I was basking in +90 degree temperatures, but hey, I'm onboard now. The first night was really cold as I've yet to fit a solid fuel heater, but the thermal underwear and tracksuit saved my bits from dropping off. I had a BSC booked for the 15th Feb so spent time reading the manual and double checking everything to ensure there was no problems on the day. I'm hooked up to 240 volt shore power for now and the Eberspacher & some oil filled radiators are keeping me warm till I arrange supply & fitting of a stove. I'm planning my cruises for the year ahead and happy as a pig in err muck. Will update soon.
Are you still on board?
