06 November 2006 | Gibraltar
The dream has finally come true. After 15 months slaving away on Aschanti, a classic schooner, we saved enough to buy the boat of our dreams - Bandit, a 46ft Moody we found languishing in Gibraltar. She'd been sadly neglected, so we spent the entire winter working on her - cleaning, scrubbing, repairing, replacing, throwing out, buying new...it seemed to be never ending. But finally we were ready to go and as the weather began to warm up, we were off.
