Giles and Paula's Great Retirement Adventure

[Giles]

On another point.  We were discussing renaming her on the way to the viewing.  We'll likely keep Pilgrim in the short term, but have decided upon a name if we do rename her, or get a Nordy.

Andrew a  really good friend, of ours, is currently near end-of-life, He had a boat called "Last Call" (yes he enjoyed a drink or two), which I crewed for him once when he took it over to France.

He had really wanted to name her "Far Call", but his wife vetoed it, saying that it was just too rude.

Paula and I have decided that it would be nice to use the name "Far Call", as a tribute to Andrew, and because, well it seems appropriate for me…..

@Giles:

If that goes well, the boat is ours….

Fan-fucking-tastic news ! I am undeniably happy for you and P.

"Far Call" is absolutely genius.

You look perfectly at home.  Looking forward to a booze cruise in September.

Not sure about that.  But, because of the paucity of accommodation in Gosport, a few may be sleeping on her….

The boat? Or Paula?

Either way, as an expert on Nordic tugs, I can say Far Call is a real beauty. Congratulations to you both.

Epic!!!! Congrats to you both. You look elated (as you should be).

That's friggin' awesome, but you guys look way too young to be retiring

P.S. it took me a few minutes to figure out the significance of "far call"
