Has anyone seen Sunny Buoy?

I sold Sunny Buoy to a Solent broker in March last year. She's no longer listed, so probably been sold. Just out of curiosity, does anyone on here know of her whereabouts?

Sounds like you're still carrying a flame.

Track her down and buy her back, you know it makes sense.

MBZK7 is registered under the name Brown. If this is you, it might be an idea to update the records. If not, your mission is to locate Mr. Brown and buy her back...

Not me, and I don't think it's going to happen But yes I have a lot of very fond memories.

Incidentally, how did you track the call sign? A search on Ofcom's website didn't produce anything useful.

Thanks for the pm willk.

Most interesting. I thought neither SSR registration nor MMSI allocation were transferable, but they are still shown as the same against Brown's entry.

Brian,

Thanks - I saw this by following a link pm'd by willk. Same details ref. call sign and MMSI as mine, so I imagine she's the same one. Misspelt the name on re-registration though.
