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
Fortunately it is on;y a temporary condition just gotta work out how to get the new AI from SLH in Mornington.

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

Re: Temporarily vulnerable
