2 days to Go

Yesterday was a day of preparation and checking out , there's still loads more food to buy but just to heavy to carry back so am breaking it up into manageable lumps.

Not long now and loads to do, we are now along side filling with water getting the dinghy up and loads of stuff ready to leave. The weather keeps looking lighter and lighter but it's time to leave. Sue is preparing dinner today a good old raostie and we all can't wait . Today is the day to say our goodbye's , it's going to be hard . Tomorrow will be worse but then we will be at sea so no time to mope.

It seem that I will not be able to carry this on whilst at sea cause you need to pay the premium package and to be honest we don't have the money to waste so will fill in when we get to land each time.

We have been in Hong Kong for well over 6 months and thought we would have problems with Pagos being in the country too long, this however turned out to be a complete lie and nothing was even mentioned.

George and I both did the checking out together and it was great starting as we mean to go on, working together. We both said how great it was .

Our plan is to sail from here Hong Kong to Gibraltar in less then a year. My rough guess is that we have 14000 nm to go and we will be doing it fast very fast. Upto now it has taken us 9 years to get a little over half way so as you can imagine we do not move too quickly. We have however been to the Gambia river, Amazon River, Cuba, Haiti, Easter Island, Chile, Robinson Crusoe Island, Pitcairn, lower Australs, South Island of New Zealand and so many more awesome places they are to many to mention.

So we are stocking and preparing, George is actually cooking dinner for the Family tonight ready for them to return to England and us to go sailing. this is in fact the first time He has cooked a full meal on his own. I am so very Proud of him.
