that pretty much sums up today. Winds picked up, three reefs in the main, waves in the cockpit. All well on board. Now, where are those advent calendars!!
Having met whilst sailing on Bob's boat, there always was a vague plan that we would at some stage sell the house, buy a boat and sail round the world. Unfortunately, we didn't have a house. That was 9 years ago. [...]Now we have sold the house we did buy, and we got married and had kids (in that order - just!) Mia is now 7 and Lochy is nearly 6, so it seems a good time to haul them out of school whilst I still understand the maths they're doing. We may be taking on other crew members along the way - if they can put up with the Jackson Four!!
