It only took about 13 years...

But

She will be returned to her home waters off the coast of southern BC and she will be rebranded MahNa MahNa unless the muppet police catch up to me and are deeply offended.

THE Admiral is known as Shauna(AKA Cinnamon - i will leave this to your imagination) and she is the only one of us who has had the privilege of piloting her so far. I am looking forward to relearning everything i learned here from you fine folks over the years, and will hopefully still live long enough to earn a few captain stars. A special thanks to those of you who have more personally guided me over the years.

If any of you feels so moved, please feel free to start a boat buck go fund me - the Admiral will be deeply appreciative.


Cheers, Bill

Thank you Ray and dlandersson!

dlandersson that looks to be a great video and i will def watch it in due course(we are very busy at the moment with many changes including moving from way inland to Vancouver Island) and that youtube channel looks to have a huge volume of valuable information(i won't live long enough and will have to pick off the most applicable).


Cheers, Bill
