Brigantia has been sold


Brigantia has been sold!

After giving us three years of fun and joy and looking after her novice crew, Brigantia went to pastures new in the Autumn of 2013. This blog remains as an archive of our activities on board.

Our new yacht, "Erbas" has her own Ships Log

Patience is a virtue

or so they say

Never been one of my strengths though!

We're now just three steps away from completing the purchase of "Erbas" though thanks to the kind computers at Halifax depositing a large sum of money into our bank account (it's a shame we have to pay it back eventually but hey ho!)

The anti-penultimate step is the insurance condition survey which is arranged but yet to happen

That will be followed, all being well, by the penultimate step of arranging insurance

And then the ultimate step of paying over the money and becoming the owners!

At that point, of course, the bills start mounting up - yard storage fees until we get her back in the water, crane in costs, then visitor mooring fees until we depart Tollesbury ... good job I've allowed a "little" extra in the budget to cover it all :)

And of course there is "Anne" still to be sold. Loads of hits on the Apolloduck advert, not a sniff of interest yet though! Interesting to discover another Islander 23 for sale for £3700 with nowhere near the spec of "Anne" for which we're asking just £3995. Either we're under-valuing or they're guilty of wishful thinking - I think the latter

Patience dear boy, patience
