Towbar ....at last ....

[Sunny]

Today I jollied over to Ajman (two States along; to the right) to get the towbar fitted.

First thing was to inspect the job and no doubt about it they have done a superb job of the welding. This thing isn't going to fall apart. the car will rot away to nothing and laying there will be the towbar assembly, still in good condition ;D













They were done in under 20 minutes and I was back on the road, to Dubai, to collect the dinghy from the storage yard. It was emotional to be reunited with her
Me and this lump of fiberglass have seen some times together ....








So now the new adventure begins, me and the tub are going afloat on the Persian Gulf..... I shall be dreaming tonight

Hey Nick, it is barely bigger than the fish out there, make sure you have your Iranian phrase book with you in case you hook a big one!!!

I did say dinghy ;D

Admittedly you wouldn't be wise to stay out there once the afternoon chop begins !
I have an EPIRB and lifejackets ....good job too I hear you say.

But I have crossed Pompey Harbour in her inummerable times and in all weathers. I can add to that list with Poole Harbour, Southampton Water and the the worst of all, the entrance to the river Beaulieu with wind against tide.

102 sessions in her last year alone ...... I know her too well
But I reckon a big ray will tow her about ...yehaaaaa
