Well, just four days to go. Everything on Bella Rosa looking good, went down today to get a couple of things, sort a problem on the electronics and fit the auxillary anchor. Weather not looking great but still hopefull we can get from Lymington to Dartmouth in one hop on Monday. General plan is to get to Newlyn towards the end of the month. Our friend (and Coastal Skipper teacher) Alex Day will then join us for a few days to do the passage to Milford Haven and then over to Arklow. From there it's up the Irish coast to Dublin, Strangford lough and Belfast.
May the wind be at your back, sunscreen on your skin and know that you have lots of good wishes for this journey with you...looking forward to the updates X
ReplyDeleteMay the wind be at your back, the sunscreen on your skin and a huge pat on your collective backs for realising this dream of yours.
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you both X Frances
Have you cancelled the milk and put out the cat? Good Luck and sooo looking forward to hearing all your adventures.
ReplyDeleteWow! You're finally off. Brilliant! (Not that you're off, just that you're doing it). Have a great trip. Ian xx
ReplyDeleteAs we're also on the high seas on Monday, am somewhat concerned at the way the weather forecast is shaping up. Have you considered postponing for a year?! Could discuss tonight.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm!, actually rather tempting. It would also mean we'd see Mad Men on Tuesday. We'll think about it!
