Giles and Paula's Great Retirement Adventure

[mclaincausey]

I'm having a lot of fun listening in, and I am so excited that you are now enthusiastically "on board," Paula! Thank you for letting us see this unfold, Padmores.

It will be the adventure of a lifetime, I've no doubt.

Awesome! I like the tug a lot.

More than one person has commented that Nordic Tug sounds like a massage parlour….....

Paula and I are in LA until Tuesday….One of my good friends, who has sailed around the world (so know a tad more than me about boats) is going to look over the boat tomorrow and make an offer on our behalf if he thinks fit.....

Well… as long as they make sure their hands are warm...

Woah what an amazing plan to enjoy your retirement. I sincerely hope it works out and you guys get the boat you’ve set your hearts on, even if the route isn’t as direct as you’d envisioned. I love the idea of doing something similar in the future, but the reality is I’m sick as a dog the moment I step in a boat

Fantastic, hope this works out!

I crewed on a trans Atlantic Tallship race about 20 years ago and was all set to join a crew for an around-the-world race but life got in the way. Jealous of you both for embarking on this great adventure together!

Beatiful Yacht!

Is it this one?

[Giles]

Yes, it is exactly that boat.  That video is from when the current owner bought her a year ago….

Pending a survey, we will buy her......

[Nik]

She looks seaworthy. Really nice boat.

Enjoyed that video.  Cool to get a feel for the layout.  Looks spacious.  Fingers crossed for a smooth sale.

Just realized … there is a lot of space to hide some rods  :-X.  8).
