Les has been at it again!

Plans are moving on but I still have to sort jobs at home, in the garden and check the volunteers helping out while we are away have all the info!!!Joyce is coming down next weekend so I can rope her in to help. Had good chat with Tassie friends,Helen and Rod today as Tony and Hazel are with them, down under! Just hoping the weather will be stable in 24 days time!!!!!Gail

sail repair

I just ried to post a blog but it didn't seem to work, so fingers crossed this does.

Went for a short shake down sail yesterday and managed to rip the main where it goes into the mast track. Now at Crusader for repair. They wanted to take three or four weeks, but we hope they will do it by the end of the month. Better to have the problem now than after we set off.

Despite having had lots of time to prepare, it's amazing how many jobs can't be done until the last minute.

Anticipated leaving date is the weekend 15/16 April, depending on the weather. We intend to be fair weather sailors, and like true gentlemen (women) try not to sail into the wind.

Les. and Gail.

Still counting down

Les. did his radar course today while Gail went for a short shake down sail with Ollie and Marin.
Need to take a look at the kicker, which Gail had trouble grinding.

Countdown to start

Just setting up the blog with the help of Mr. Fox. No idea if this is going to work.
Keep a lookout for future posts
