It has paid off for spending a week on the River Guadiana, the fresh water has cleaned the bottom of the boat and its looking very, very clean (with the exception of the water line)
We anti-fouled in February and have decided to wait until we get lifted out in the Caribbean for some new RED paint ! Do you not like the red Chris ?

We have been having several problems with our Kiwi Propellor, so we decided take it back to the UK with us and have it re-built, We were deciding wether or not to buy a new one but unfortunately the budget didn't allow it. We have our fingers crossed that its going to feather otherwise it is going to be a very noisy Atlantic Crossing . I have stocked up on ear plugs but would rather not have to use them..

We arrived back in Lanzarote and were so excited to get back onto the boat ! It was lovely seeing Elaine, we just wish the circumstances were a bit different, she should have been visting us !! We hope you get better and recover really quickly its your turn to visit us next time xxx
As soon as we got back, we went to visit our mates on Libertine, Terry and Emma, we had a great night with them and a beautiful meal thanks guys ! The next day a little bit hungover, we had to get the boat polished, lucky enough Terry came to help James as i wasnt allowed to help because my polishing standards aren't quite up to scratch , so i was told !! But i wasnt complaining either instead going for swims in the pool and just slowly unpacking ..

Once a week, select a major household appliance, take it apart and put it
back together. Count the parts left over.
Have a fluorescent lamp installed under your coffee table and lie under it to read books.
Raise the doorsteps and lower the top sills on your front and back doors so that you trip over the threshold or hit your head on the sill everytime you pass through.
Decommission your central heating boiler and heat the house with a hot airdryer. When you turn in for the night, remove all your clothes and put them in aplastic bin full of water. When you get up in the morning, retrieve your wet clothes and get dressed!!
Do not forget Battery management. No matter how many amp/hours or how big your inverter is you still need to prioritise use. There are two ways of looking at this.
HIS:Fridge = Cold Beer
Nav systems = Need to make sure we get to next re-vitaling location.
Laptop = Check weather on internet (note might have to set off any way despite weather as beer stocks were low, see Nav systems above)
Hair drier = That is what the wind does.
HERS: Hair drier = I hate having frizzy bad hair days
Laptop = I want to Skype my friends
Nav systems= What does this red button do?
Fridge = "Why do we need a fridge? you promised me that we would be living the dream and eating out in the best marina restaurants around the world

This is an email that was sent to us from our sailing friends on Yacht Andromeda, It is soo funny, Im going to put one on a week until it runs out ..
Try this out at home..
Sleep on a shelf in a broom cupboard. Replace the cupboard door with a curtain. Then: Two hours after you go to sleep, have your better half/skipper/partner whip open the curtain and shine a torch in your eyes and shout , " You're on",OR set your alarm clock to go off at random times during the night: when it does, jump off the shelf and get dressed as fast as you can, run into the garden and shower under the garden hose, OR wake up at 2 am and have a peanut butter sandwich on stale bread.
Renovate your bathroom. Build a wall across the middle of the bath and move the shower head down to chest level. When you take a shower, shut off the water when you've got the shower gel into a good lather. Dispense with your dustbin. Place all non edible household waste in smallplastic bags, and store them in the other half of the bath.Throw anyedible waste out of the window. Bring indoors some form of petrol engine(a lawn mower will be fine), start it and leave it running while trying to hold a conversation.
