Just for a moment we thought that we had succumbed to 'Port Rot' or 'Harbour Rot'. Apparently this term is used for liveaboards who no longer feel the need to move on to a new location. Just staying put wherever they may be, with all the comforts that they have become accustomed to is satisfying enough.

Thankfully, we can confirm that we don't have this but we did find it really hard to leave what effectively was our last tie to familiarity - Darthaven Marina, the wonderful staff and all our friends there.

So on Thursday 12th April 2012, having checked the weather forecast we decided to cast off our lines once and for all and leave the marina to head straight for Treguier, France rather than the Channel Isles. The reason for the change - because we felt like it.

Our friends, Dave and Gill who happened to be down in Darthaven working on their Heavenly Twins walked down and waved us goodbye.
