Its coming home its coming home.

Forget the football (just a load of overpaid idiots chasing a ball around bit of grass anyway)

But more importantly after a long wait........my Sib Ob and the rest of the accessories are coming home and getting delivered either tomorrow or Friday.

For those who previously bought set ups from Terry. How do Excel ship......just so I can organise space in advance for the Wife excepting the delivery?
Is it pallet? Individual packages?

We collected ours, but it was all in huge boxes, which we left with Terry.

I collected mine but it was all neatly packed on a pallet for the driver that got waylaid suspiciously on the day after the pubs opened and some sunny weather.

Ok thanks guys. Terry emailed to say all strapped to a pallet so guessing delivery driver can pallet truck it to where we want

Went with a new Suz 20 Steve because the only other available at the time was a second hand 15 yam that turned out to be even heavier!

The suzuki will be a bit of a beast to move around even with the trolley. But might mod something up later if becomes too much of an issue.
But once run in and we build up a bit of confidence it should be a nice combo with the Volaire by what we have seen and heard here.
Still plan on the Pb2 course as well but time will be the biggest issue for this summer.
Should hopefully have the boat set up and down a few times over the next few nights, and will just have to be especially careful on weather/tides and not venture too far from harbour, until we gain a bit more experience.

Was talking to a guy recently who gave us plenty of local advice and might manage out with us on our first trips. He thought where we planned to run in the ob would be as safe with a bit of common sense than anywhere .....so here's hoping

Looking forward to hearing how you got on.
