In 2015 when my personal pension matured I was told that it would not be worth taking it as a monthly payment and that I would be much better advised to take it as a lump sum.

The lump sum did not amount to very much in the grand scheme of things but it was enough to improve my current situation.
So I put Almyne on the market and started looking for a new(er) boat.

Sixteen years afloat and counting

The new boat was just 10 feet longer than Almyne but that did mean that i could have the same accomodation that I was used to PLUS a workshop, something I had always hankered for.
As it turned out for the first 5 years the workshop turned into a second bedroom so I could accomodate guests. it wasn't until I started refurbishing Dennis that I eventually turned that second cabin into a proper workshop.
