Spent most of the morning in lectures on subjects such as down-wind sailing, communications and emergencies, coming away with 7 pages of notes and actions to go onto the to-do list.

Then off the the local supermarket for provisioning.  We managed to fill 4 large trollies with dry foods and water and a small quantity of wine and beer. As it’s a dry boat when sailing we wont need so much.  We’re not finished and are struggling to store it all away, never mind remembering where every thing has been put.

Still working on the to-do lists which is getting longer by the day, and somehow we seem to do jobs that are not even on the list.

The weather has improve with blue skies and high temperatures – the butter is already starting to melt.
