Well we move onboard on Saturday and Vicki has tried to pack the contents of a 6 bedroom house onto our little boat! The result so far has been the boat sitting 2 inches deeper in the water and every locker stuffed full of goods. Actually she even had a dinner suit packed for me in case we meet local dignitaries.

 

So we move onboard on Saturday,  I was hoping to leave early next week and take a leisurely sail to the channel islands. As luck would have it, the wind which has been blowing from the north or east for the last 3 weeks is due to change to west on Sunday….this means no we wont leave till it turns the correct way again.

 

We meeting Andrew on the 14th of June in Falmouth where he will join us for our Biscay crossing.

 

Below is a picture of Andrew last time we did a passage.

 

Hope everyone is well

 

All our love TVCJ
