30/11/2015 - Motored around to Falmouth in preparation for our sale to Deshaies in Guadeloupe. It took hours but was decidedly choppy and we all felt a little queezy during the trip.

We found that the house batteries were finished and so we had to delay our departure whilst we bought some batteries from Budget Marine.  As with everything else on this side of the Atlantic all the sizes were different and we had to swap out our 3 knackered 140Ah batteries for 2 larger 160Ah batteries, not as good but needs must! Mark and I were able to fit the batteries ourselves with the use of some tape and cardboard to ensure everything was as insulated and as snug a fit as possible.

Another dissappointment was that Cloggys was shut so not lunch there!
