We made a good start on the final packing and cleaning and it looked as if we might have time to see if we could call at the boat builder in Rode Heath on the way back.
However, as Mike was returning from one loading trip to the car, he saw a many standing alongside a new boat obviously waiting for someone. After a light-hearted comment about being stood up he remarked that he was waiting for the owners.
Mike asked, "You are not a boat builder by any chance?" and, yes, it turned out to be the person we had been told about yesterday by the broker. He had already been given our name by the office and happily came to talk to us about possibilities. In the end it took some while to get away and we were an hour after the schedule we originally set for handing over Alice to her dad on the way back! Fortunately we also agreed to phone when we were leaving as he had the shorter trip to make.
We met as planned just off the M5 at J11A at a coffee shop where we sat and chatted in the sun over a cup before making our respective ways home.
