This made me chuckle.

I received the following text from Ciao Bellas previous owner today.

'Been reading your blog. Bit about my drive embarrassed me to spend a lot of money!'

You don't want to do that Ed... I might come back and visit :0))   Ed also sent a piccie of his replacement for Ciao Bella, or should I say Comme Ci Comme Ca.   He's bought a Dart 16 catamaran which he can easily tow from the middle of the country to just about any beach, launch, sail, recover and drive home all in the same day if he wants.  I couldn't see that happening with the Hurley 20.

It's a fine looking boat which looks like it will encourage a lot of smiles, I look forward to see it blasting around Studland bay.
