We are back on board Allegria with a plan to sail
her over the pond to northern Spain. Of course plans are one thing and real life
seems to be very different as you will know if you have read previous entries on
this blog. We didn't manage to complete the last plan and sail to Antigua.
Fingers crossed, there is always hope.
Lynn and I flew out here on the 13th May and
have been preparing frantically ever since. Allegria was launched on the 16th
and most systems seem to be working. We are working through any problems, the
latest being that one of the davits for the dinghy decided not to work
yesterday.
We have had a break from the work as Lynn and I
went back to Washington last Sunday to pick up Sean, Lynn's brother, on Monday.
We had a lovely time staying overnight in a very expensive hotel on Pennsylvania
Ave but our near neighbour in the White House didn't invite us round. We saw all
the major sights and spent a lovely couple of hours in the National Portrait
Galley learning about US Presidents
Socially things have been very good as Paul and
Babs on Lyra Magna are here in the same marina and we spent a lovely evening on
board their boat yesterday. A really excellent dinner.
Back to work now as we need to be ready as we are
hopeful about leaving this week.
