Countdown for London
13 September 2012 | Cape Town
John
At the moment I am busy packing and getting ready to fly to London on Saturday to prepare Ultima Life for her return delivery to Fort Lauderdale. It is quite a long trip but we will be taking our time heading south so that we miss hurricane season. I have once been involved with a hurricane and have no intention of involving myself with another one!
Hopefully we will be able to depart London (Ultima Life is moored in St Katharine Dock, next to Tower Bridge) around 21, 22 or 23 September, when the tides are good for the trip down the Thames River.
Besides myself, Dylan le Roux will be my first mate and Jason Morrow, who has been living in London, will be a crew member. Dylan was my first mate on the recent delivery to Mahé, Seychelles and Jason has limited sailing experience, but enough to be able to cope with the systems on Ultima Life.
Once we are ready with the preparations completed, I will again update the blog. John.
