Well.... I think its my turn to have a say
Admittedly I fu**ed up on the ferry departure time as Wooly booked it and I had it in my head that it was 9.30 despite ammending the booking to get Bill on board rather than my mate that had dropped out.
She had behaved faultlessly since her return from London, a night time journey in the rain with wipers going all the way and started fine on Monday morning when we left dead on time (but an hour late) and sailed down to Pompey without a hitch.
Having got booked on the next crossing as we were literally 5 minutes too late to be let on ours she refused to turn over and had to be jumped.
On arrival Bill took the wheel and we decided to go for it non stop.... which worked even if the last 20 miles were on alternator only and without lights in second gear, but we made it and she is now sorted, all set up and we are getting down to a few beers.
Regarding other comments.... we were not out on the piss the night before as this was something rather important to me after all the effort we put in to her.
Closert on this from me...... we are here and wont be leaving till monday. I'm going to rather enjoy it!!
