Thanks Mr M

Post by Mac26Mpaul »

Well we have come to the conclusion that we should downsize boats for a while and so we are putting Little Annie on the market....

If you ever get on here and see this Roger, just want to say thanks for designing such a versatile craft, one that has given my family the best memories we have,
Thanks to this forum and all who hang here too. An amazingly helpful resourse and some great and helpful people... :)

Threw a 5 minute video together today to remind me of the boat - after I played it back, it almost brought a tear to my eye :(

Who knows, may come back to a Mac one day, and will certainly be watching Tattoo!
Anyway, I will still pop in here for sure :wink:

Great video! The food on the grill looked yummy.
So nice to have that video as a reminder of the memories you've created.
Fair winds and you can always stop back here.

I'm always sorry to read about someone who enjoyed their Mac, deciding it's time to give up their Mac.

All the best for you. Image

Great video for documenting something so memorable in life. Who knows if you watch it enough you might realise how much you miss it and buy another.
Good luck on your next adventure.

Thanks all, yeah must admit, I have watched it a number of times since yesterday and it is really making me a bit sad... My wife watched it and reckoned the music was like funeral music or something - I kind of feel like I'm losing a member of the family.... Anway, it is the right decision for us right now.....

But dont worry, I wont be boatless - Ill never let that happen again! :wink:

I know Angela and I have had the best and lasting memories on our :macm: D'Lei, with more to come. You are right this is a great Mac family forum site. Be sure to visit us, you may find you can't stay away it's like a drug.
I like your solar panel. Do you have any details on, size, watts, mounting, where bought....?
We salute you, I hope it all works out for you.
