Introducing IGOR!!!!!!!!!!!!

skip, endless gales!!
Hi all, delayed blog-age, sorry

We've managed to escape house renovation in Cambridge (England, not Boston!)

And we have a new crew member!!! Let's hear it for IGOOOORRRRRRRRRR!!!

The Kipor IG 2000 (did you see what we did there?) generator. It may be yellow, it may not be a honda, it may be cheap, but it is a good source of power!! I'm sure we'll have many happy years together.

We're now back on board full time and starting to get our heads around the dreaded winter jobs and what is and what isn't achievable before we head north, south east or west. Discussions ongoing for the 1st April departure.

We also have another new crew member, but that is for another time and up to the Admiral to introduce her, maybe the next blog.

Phil, sorry to be slow on the updates, thanks for the Facebook message, we had to sort out the Cambridge house, hopefully now the blog should be more regularly updated with our improvements and life amongst the cold, diesel, damp, and mould of the British winter.
