We have now arrived in France, landfall was Benodet at 1745 on the  21^st – local time.   There will be lots of local time rom here on in.   Our plan (yes, we do have one or two), is to travel to Belle Isle on Sunday, from there we want to get to La Coruna – Northern  Spain. with us are Andy and Deborah, who – both as freelancers (loader lancer etc) - can be as adaptable as has to be for this trip.  Prim – is behaving moderately well – and she’s got us here to Benodet.   We do have issues, however, and that’s as it should be with a shake down cruise.   We are well supported by the guys at Hamble Point Marina – though the mobile phone bills will be high, but that’s the result of taking off as they did the last bits of work.   We are really lucky that all have been so supportive til now – long may it continue.   Lots of work still to do, but hey ho – its not too bad so far!

LOL C & T + the motley crew!
