Finally I was due for
launch, 6 months and 3 days after the RIB
At
8-30 I was told they were taking me off the trolley and putting me on
the storage stands because they needed it to launch another boat,
they explained they couldn't launch me until the total outstanding
bill for 6 months had been paid!
As
I had already informed the marina manager, who knew that this bill
was to the Moorings, whose boat had put me in that situation, and was
not my bill. I had a chat with the yard manager who said his hands
were tied as it was company policy 'no cash no splash' I asked him to
ask his boss, he said he couldn't do that? So I had to get the dingy
and go to the marina office to speak with the man. Knowing all about
it he called them up and explained it all to them and said launch Roy
its not his bill !
I
was a bit on the stressed side and went downstairs for a coffee and a
BLT to calm myself down (+ a fag or three), whilst sitting there my
phone rang and I was told my boat was nearly in the water without me!
I had to run back to the yard, didn't even have a sip of coffee
either. About 20 minutes later I was back floating again, I have no
words to describe how I have felt every day since !!!!!!!!!!!!
I
have a total of 174 pictures to post !!! as I have been without
internet for so long, But
I
found out today 25th
from the IT guys that the internet signal to the whole marina has
been getting jammed for some time by a person or persons unknown and
has effected everyone's Wi-Fi here. If you are more than about 6 feet
away from the Wi-Fi Arial your receive signal is blocked ! No wonder
then, why I have had no internet for so long.
I
have now made an arrangement with the IT guys to use my computer in
their workshop tomorrow, and I will see how many pics I can get on
the blog.
