Since arriving home, we have found ourselves sucked feet-first into the vortex of shoreside life: both of us working part-time, John instructing IRB at the Surf Club, both of us doing patrols, hauling out and anti-fouling, repairing bits and pieces that have needed it on-board, catching up with our sons, our niece and the families..........
Can't wait to get away again, it is so much simpler out there!
Our haulout went smoothly, and hopefully the job will last us through until we return next year. We are so very pleased with "Destiny" as a fine liveaboard cruising yacht: she is seakindly and comfortable and has not come near letting us down in heavy weather - Joe Adams was a great designer of cruising hulls.
We have been fortunate to have a string of visitors this last two months - cruising folk we have met in the islands who have been passing this way - Mike and Lynn on "Wombat", Bernie from "First Light lll", Dave and Helen on "Obelia" and Andrew and Margaret from "Mollycoddle"; spending time with these lovely people has kept our adventures fresh in our minds.
