We're back! ..and ready for the OFF!

Timeless

Wed 1 Jan 2014 08:18

We’re back to the boat in Tenerife from being away for Christmas for a few days.

Mum was in great form and England was it’s normal wintery dreary, rainy and cold place!

We have been keeping an eye on the weather and everything is looking consistently good!

(..and has been for several weeks now I’m pleased to say)

We are just waiting for Bob, Cathy and Bob to arrive tomorrow, get some provisions, fuel up and we are good to go!!!

At Last!
