Ad Lib 36


Two wins in one day:


  Stargazer's fuel filler pipe is swiftly disconnected and drained without spillage. The errant cap retaining cable, complete with end fitting, emerges with the gush. (See Ad Lib 28). In the ten years, since we last met, Mike has grown his Purbeck Marine business to employ a team of nine Technicians. After our reunion chat, he therefore despatches Zak, to draw the thorn from Stargazer's metaphorical paw.


Stargazer's skipper is no less fortunate. With a win on his Premium Bonds. Alas, it is not the life changing one million pound 'jackpot.' More of a welcome boost to the summer ice-cream fund. (For readers not in the UK: Premium Bonds are a British, state operated, savings product. No interest is paid, instead savers are entered into a monthly prize draw. Their ‘luck’ increasing with the size of their stake.)
