May. 18, 2007 - harumph

We're not sailing this weekend... got to get back on top of the garden before the cat gets completely lost, and the shed dissapears!

However, my big 'grump' at the moment, is that in just less than a weeks time, we are off to Oostende, followed by a weeks cruising..... but my part 1 registration hasn't come back yet.....

I spoke to them this morning, and they are going to see what they can do, but normal lead time is 'weeks'... they are still processing April applications, and ours didn't arrive until start of May....

To complete the change of ownership you need to send the original part 1 certificate back, plus the original Bill of Sale, so right now, I have no proof of ownership at all, and no registration documents.... a situation which would make a trip to Belgium or France a highly risky proposition.....

If they don't arrive, we'll have to resort to a week of cruising the Thames Estuary, which would be nice, but actually a real dissapointment, as everyone is really looking forward to going to Oostende....
