Although it has been in the making for the last 18 months it is this weekend that sees the start of serious preparations to get Searenity ready for her maiden ocean voyage at the beginning of February next year. On Saterday 16 October we will take her back to Robertson and Caine for them to take care of some warrentee issues. R&C have been quit proffesional and very responsive to our needs as new boat owners, thanks must go to some very dilligent staff Deon, Rob and Grahem.

At the same time contractors in the Cape Town area will then use the opportunity to do some upgrades and make some changes that Santie and myself feel is needed as she will not be back for some time when leaving in February.

Our plan is to leave with Seawolff skippered by Robert and Nadeen and do a short stint up the West Coast (Robert has got a gas gurgling 47" Power Leopard or as we like to call it stinkpot) to Walvisbaai, where he will fuel up before we make our way across to St Helena, Salvador and into the Caribbean where we aim to visit Cuba extensively. It is also planned for me to have my 50th birthday in Havana the first week of May.

I will for now try to get the blog going with entries every second week, keeping all informed of the progress we make in the preparations.

Cheers

Goltz
