Today's been a big day for us as the sale of our property was sealed, and we moved out. Yesterday as I finished cleaning out Skinnydip's build shed, fond memories flooded back. :D

I understand all too well why the move was made but it is a little sad looking at Skinnydips ex home.

Hi, It looks like birds have left the nest, I preferred it with the boat in it. All the best for the new start. Hopefully you will still keep posting on a regular basis. As I mentioned earlier that my first glance into the forum are your posts I wish I would find them more often again.

Ooops! It's been three weeks since I posted. There's been a bit going on with the move and setting up our new home, which has been absorbing and rewarding. But still ......

Belated thanks for your kind posts cape man, Jeff, Tom, Fuzz, Lee and Karl. Reading them tonight has prodded me into rowing out to Skinnydip and Great Sandy tomorrow to give each a little tlc. :D

You get a buy from all of us but don't stop posting here because you moved into a retarded...I mean retired community. I say this with nothing but love...well maybe a bit of ...what did you call it? Droll humor?

When are you going to get that electric system running and post a pic of you and the child bride camping under the fore deck up the Noosa river?

In case you don't get it, have missed your posts... 8)
