Well, long overdue doesn't even come close .... Cutting a very long story very short, in the last 2 years, I have re-married (an old friend - a very long story !), bought the house of one's dreams, moved the boat to Portsmouth, BUT ...... lost touch with sailing. PD2 was bought with the main intention of entering the RWYC RB&I 2010 with Lindsey. That didn't happen, and with the changes just mentioned, sailing has taken very very much a back seat. Since the south coast holiday, I had a few sails on the east coast then moved the boat to Pmouth (with Ian !). After that the biggest thing that happened was a trip to Plymouth to see off JAC 2012. I also dried her out by myself which was a big step forward but the trips to Cowes haven't happened which is fine, as, actually, work is taking on a new meaning and significance. A complete rebuild of the Kiwi prop is needed which is knocking confidence and has been for a while. One of 2 things needs to happen now. Either PD2 starts to get used, or she needs to be sold and I need to return to sailing later in life. I am actually fine with this, but lo leave her languishing isn't the way forward. Watch this space ........
