To my distinguished advisors,
I promised chocolate, and there shall be chocolate! New Zealand made, not necessarily to your specs, but delicious. I'll need your address by email, if it's not in your JRA profile.
The Coromandel 'minim' will wait for me in Suffolk, as Walter & Estelle well knew, the rascals. I chose that area as a good place to start UK cruising, perhaps even inland through London, and with a straight shot towards the Netherlands, Belgium and France.
Thanks David & Annie, although my 'crazy' may not be your 'crazy.' Scotland? maybe after the South of France. Thanks Nicholas for having me consider the West Coast and Ireland side of things. To Antoine for not hesitating to praise his own country. And Eric for a realistic reminder about trailer logistics. Oh, and to Walter & Estelle for the fine dinner, and the loan of their superior fids, which I intend to keep forever, in exchange for extra chocolate.
The next time I offer chocolate, it'll be to the person who offers to store said boat trailer for nothing, indefinitely, and available when I need it. In... (or near...) Suffolk?
Cheers, Kurt
