Moved!

I've finally moved house. It took a couple of weekends and a couple of week's worth of evenings, but everything is moved.

I never did get stuff on eBay, just no time to do it.

The wife is talking abbout sorting out the wall of cardboard or as most people call it, the spare room. I think after over a week of humping and bumping, I need a night with feet up, takeaway and TV.

She'll probably agree as Tuesday is Eastenders and Holby night.... no TV for me this evening then. A takeaway, feet up and old man evening/full belly snooze it is then.

I shall dream of those sailing days back in June, and plan my winter.

I have checked on Sprite 2 from the shore, but had no time to get on board for a while.

Hopefully this weekend I can get on board and check on things.

Things that I learned:

You can transport a dinghy trailer without a towbar. Just unbolt the axle from the drawbar. the drawbar goes on roof bars and the axle in the boot.

You can support a jib furler on the car roof with a slightly extended ladder. It stops the furler bending where it's unsupported over the bonnet (last time I used a length of wood tied to the radiator grille, but didn't have anything handy this time.

I'm getting too old to be moving just using my own muscle power. Hopefully any future move will be planned and I'll be able to save up to pay someone else to do the humping and bumping.
