We have now - in theory - set sail. In reality due to the tides we have moved the boat from our winter berth at the Hayling Yacht Company to our old berth at Wicormarine. We have popped over to Spain for a few days R and R before finally getting ready for the off next week. We can highly recommend both companies for excellent service and just nice places to stay.

We still have to work out the logistics of cars - outboards - getting to the boat - fresh food etc but are sure we can sort it out. The more challenging thing will be organizing some good weather!!.

We have had our new sprayhood fitted a dapper grey with matching sail covers all looking very grand. We can now see forward and also have a vent opening for that great weather we are expecting.
