Re-sending as didn’t upload originally….

To all,

This is bizarre but I have arrived and it's like I’m in a dream….I really hope this is not one of those vivid dream things..

Yesterday evening I hove to at about 3 am as I didn’t want to arrive at night and when I did arrive it became clear that was a good decision, the entrance was difficult to find even in daylight, clearly Nelson had good reason.

I'm slowly taking it in….but I measured out water and realised I don’t have to do that any more….I don’t have to dip stick the fuel any more its ok there was enough, I don’t have to concern myself tonight about the voltage usage, I don’t care tomorrow what the wind is doing, I don’t have to worry about strapping myself on or other shipping…or the bilge pump measure I took each day….or whether I will get there in time....tonight I can just enjoy…..and from what I have seen there is lots to enjoy about this place.


I won’t keep a rolling commentary on my daily activities because this can get tedious but I will put on the occasional updates.

I hope this has been of interest…..and of course I still have to get back yet…..

Ps Lyn arrived on Friday 24 hours after my arrival, taking 8 hrs compared with my 50 plus days, so now I have full crew again!
