I took the worst case scenario, added on the cost of my flights back to check on the work, which will take a few months, then added a large contingency percentage\u00a0and came up with a huge amount I\u00a0wanted off the price. The agent baulked, the seller offered a compromise, I walked away, they called me back and agreed. So once we have a few formalities sorted, I will own Wanderlust. This is a great result, as I will have a very sound hull, and hopefully a little extra to cover some of the other jobs. I&#8217;m hoping to complete the deal by Friday, leaving a week before I head home.<\/p>\n<p>So now I can post the details of my trip up to the yard yesterday in a new post.<\/p>\n<p>Below are the blisters that caused so much concern.
