4 Weeks to go....

4 weeks today and counting!! It is all still slightly surreal to be honest, it’s still hard to imagine when you are feeling as if you are running at 100mph to think that sometime soon life will start to slow down. It’s still hard to imagine floating around the Caribbean in the sun this time next year particularly in the thick frost of the last week in England! We are both just so excited to get back out on the water having been boatless for some time now.

Kevin goes for his visit to the factory to take photos accompanied now with a friend from his Yachtmaster Ocean course, Paul. We will then have three weekends more together before we go to collect the boat! We are beginning to pack up the house too, because we need to get everything over to France that we plan to take with us or at least those I won’t need between now and August. We are dividing our possessions between the house and the boat, all DVDs are packed up in a zip up case (cases too much room to carry!), Kevin gets the crockery and cutlery and iPod and I get the house stereo and camping gear! As I’m away most of the week with work in hotels, we need everything we need on the boat rather than buy duplicates of everything after spending so many months trying to declutter our lives. We have had to upgrade our ferry ticket to a van since changing our plan back to travel straight to the Canaries with the boat and I have had to find a van hire company which allows hire from the UK to include France. Think we are getting there with all the preparations.
