So, whilst Dave's been puddling about and having a lovely time swanning about on the boat with the guys, I'm here in the real world doing all the other stuff, such as settling the sale of the house, cleaning, moving, sorting, rerouting mail, cancelling stuff, moving stuff, stuffing stuff, and doing more stuff, and all with a bad knee that's made me look like Quasimodo minus the hump for the past few days.

With all of the aaarrgghhiing I've been doing with each painful step, I figure I'm a step in front so far as sailing dialogue is concerned. Now I just need to develop a taste for rum, practice my yo-ho-ho's and aye me hearties and I should be okay if we should ever come across pirates. :) It might be time to invest in a parrot.

Anyway, the house is now settled and out of our hands, most things are stored and/or organised and now all I need is my home. Another few weeks and hopefully it'll be here. In the meantime. I'll keep on posting Venture's progress.

Oh, and when I do finally begin my life on the boat, there'll hopefully be something in this blog for everyone. :)
