Title: Calm before the storm

[Back to Index/Map]

Given the adventure that lies ahead, it is very calm on our boat and on the pontoon as a whole. What is suprising is that people are still arriving with bottles of water, food, chandlery and fishing gear. Kantara has had a thorough clean and just need to top up water tanks and disconnect shore power before we go.

Can't belive this day has finally come!
