A glass of Wherry’s fine ale I believe it was; or was it two?

Hi Eric & Patsy,
Thank you for the kind words. Alacrity is slowly coming to the end of phase one of her refit. and she looks fantastic inside.
I’m glad you found the insurance info helpful.
Take care and enjoy life

Kind regards

John

Hi John,

Thanks for the ‘heads up’ on Craftinsure. My Wife and I are currently on an extended RV tour of the USA, but envisage becoming ‘genuine’ continuous cruisers in the not too distant future. My last insurerers (motor) were Mardon and I would have naturally gravitated to them for boat insurance when the time comes. However, having read your comments I did a little experiment with Craftinsure to get a quote for a hypothetical boat purchase. To say I was pleased with the figure quoted would be an understatement! Maybe I’ve become too accustomed to paying my American insurerers premium on my truck and trailer every SIX months.

I read your Blog (along with many others) as often as I can and am enjoying seeing the results of your hard work during the refurbishment.
Maybe we’ll have the pleasure of meeting you on ‘The Cut’ one of these days.

Best wishes from Eric & Patsy in sunny California.
