Crisp, gorgeous morning as Phil and I, (mostly Phil) tackled the aft cabin repairs whilst Chris managed to successfully install and configure the battery monitor, Xantex Link 20 dual action leading to maximum satisfaction!!! Looking back to last Monday, holy cow and wow, the amount of work, 120 plus man hours and counting, the accomplishment, the extreme appreciation for all the skilled help,, the process, the experience. So after the amateur Ebay purchasing last night ending in two failed attempts, a little coaching today = VICTORY. Check out the sweet EPIRB a Wessex Category 2 GPS 406 MHZ, sweet!!!!

Where does this leave us, scheduling, diagramming the space we have on the boat to fit all of our precious gear, organizing our domestic lives, working on grocery lists, putting the rest of the trim on, putting the stick (aka mast) back on, a full clean down of the vessel, sail trials…. keep on rocking in the free world!

ANOTHER OFFICIAL GOING AWAY PARTY Friday 16th, 7-9 Portland at Rivalries Sports Bar, all welcome!
