Still a Virgin ;o( but not long now!
Well, some good news and bad news.

Couldn't pick up the boat as the trailer was rather, well how can I say it - I won't see the pictures and work out what is missing!

Good news
Well after a little heart ache - the garage (thank you spike) have pulled out all the stops and managed to get all the bits we need - basically all the mechanical bits and they will fit it on Monday (week).

What's money for anyway?

At the end of the day, we will end up with a new (machanically anyway) trailer.

The best bit is, that after spending that money, you dunk it in the sea and it all starts to rust to buggery again.

After our trailer rebuild, bearing in mind its a twin axle aswell, dry berthing doesn't seem like such a rip off.
