Boat Show me up daddy-o
This time next week we'll be supping noodles, experiencing neck ache and going 'wow' alot as we experience Tokyo. All that remains before the holiday is the details of what to bring with us. Checking out the weather has been hopeful. Japan is ignoring the European Autumn and has been averaging around 24 degrees 'C' with highs of 31C!!! Okinawa, the tropical island south of Japan has been hitting nearly 34C.
The weekend was a parent catch-up. My dad came down for his annual trip to the Southampton Boat Show which I tagged along. Got to see a newer version of his motor boat made by Azimut. The name sounds crap but the boat is a luxury Italian 42 foot beast. Nearly every manufacturer had boats on display but all their sales staff had the same uniform on - white button shirt, cream trousers and boaty shoes - like a clone boat person factory had a summer sale on or something.
Not much to buy for a non-boaty person except a fancy-dress kit for a pirate! Contents were an eye-patch, a small cutlass, a telescope and a mini treasure chest!
Will download some photos before we heave-ho to the Far East.
