Not much to do before we are ready to go, a cover, a watermaker and slipping early in May.

We expect to leave late in May at least after the 15th but more likely will be the last week or early in June. As the time approaches it will be governed by weather more than calendars.

Probably a couple of extra crew on board up the coast but that will be determined by the time and other matters at time of leaving.

Preparations are going well at this stage.

Folks, Clearly you have all worked toward this wonderful opportunity. You are living the dream leaving many other folk wistfully wishing for the same.

This is the only photo I manage to get

The delivery back into the water went well but that is all I can say

1 step forward two back!

Boat in water that went well.

Port engine no go - could be major problem may need to go back on hard stand!

Outboard seems a carbi problem - were going to use that to assist moving boat to anchor.

Tied to jetty with wind blowing us onto jetty

All very stressful and it is bl..dy hot! Just exhausted to say the least
