I suppose most people already have a certain amount of equipment and general boat stuff in their possession, ready to carry on board. Maybe they are moving from one boat to another, but for someone who hasn't owned a boat for some years there is an awful lot of stuff to collect.
What doesn't help is the fact i live in Kent and the boat is in Derbyshire so i am amassing a pile of stuff ready to load into the car and desperately trying not to omit something crucial.
Windlass (2) check
BW keys (2) check
Maps check
Kettles check
mugs,bowls,plates,utensils,blankets,sleeping bag,quilt,pillows,clothing,tools...blah,blah blah blah,
Doesn't sound like much, so why has my spare settee disappeared under a mound of boxes, bags, clothing etc? At least for 99% of the stuff its a one way trip, it will be staying on the boat. So i should have a nice light car coming home next week.......Now where did i put that check list..........?
