By coincidence our MH is going on for repair and my friend asks if I would help him sail his new yacht from Alicante to its new berth in LANZOROTE. For some reason I said yes, I must be mad. Wendy, quite wisely is staying at home. So fly on Friday and I hope to see Ireland again on the 30th. Hopefully it will make me a better person, so wish me luck and look after the repaired MH if I don't make it back, please. Bon voyage.

It can't be that different to living in a motorhome, right!

If the motorhome rocks like a yatch, it's no wonder that it's needs repairs!!

Enjoy the sailing trip and may the weather be with you all of the way.

Yes if your Motorhome is like a rocking horse on steroids. And I'm sure they will stop and put the levelers out when you want to make the tea. :lol:
Good luck and enjoy every bit of it
Safe away and home.

Wow, sounds like an amazing trip. Keep the people in the boat. Keep the water out of the boat. Keep the boat off the ground.
Fair Winds.
