Steve,Jeff will have the camera charged up for the unload, It will come to me in the container on the back of a container lorry we then have 3 hours to take it out, should be fun with it about 4ft 6 up off the ground, looking to make some kind of ramp. If I film it we have a show here on TV for things that go wrong and I get a few pounds back for it to help the pain.
Well the ship is on its way out to sea now so must of dropped something off, Jeff happy to swap cost with you mine would make you wince

Looks like I'm in for a wait as the port is now shut due to snow, its yet to be X-Ray at customs, no need for that I can tell them its not well.
It only take a few inches of snow for UK to grind to a stop, its a joke here I'm sure some of you would look out the window and say its just a thick frost.

Another six inches here in last 24 hrs. Had a slow Friday rush hour, streets were plowed when I woke up, and everythings back to normal. What happened to global warming over there? Maybe you could sue Al Gore. Hope they let it go soon.

For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

Jeff its killing me more,
hope to see it late this week, but the port now has a back log to work through, just hope we don't have more snow,but I do know she was unloaded into the UK @ 4.06 am 30th Nov.
Here is a teaser when she was loaded to go on the first leg 400 miles to Vancouver, the box on the back is not a mod its to hold it as has it has damage to back and side.
And bring it back to something like this 
The great thing is Billy (Boat Dr) from scratch built the engine/drive and has sent over should be with me around the 12th Dec and all to the right spec for the boat,you just can't beat Built in the USA.
