Temporarily vulnerable

I woke up this morning with the mobile ringing...."Hello" I said through the clearing fog of sleep. "Yeah Hi its Ange just coming through Port Fairy be at yours in about 40 mins" He said. An hour or so later my Yak disappears down the road on someone else's trailer. And I suddenly realize that for the first time in about 40 years I don't have a boat in my life :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Fortunately it is on;y a temporary condition just gotta work out how to get the new AI from SLH in Mornington. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Double AI's on my trailer - and an excuse to drive to Portland, could be a plan except .................

Congrats on the purchase - what colour?

The best colour of course.....red
I am sort of caught between a rock and a hard place at the moment I have to pick up a new caravan on a Saturday in Geelong and also the AI from Mornington on the same day what is a bloke supposed to do????

All good. I figure I will leave here at about 4 am catch the first boat at Queenscliff at 7 quick drive to Mornington Strap on the Yak then fly back to Geelong by about midday 1 ish plenty of time to get the rundown and paperwork done on the new van home around dark time or a little later.
