Getting Ready : Update

Many of the jobs are now done; just 'small things' like a new second water tank and dinghy davits ! The original sails have been sent away for cleaning along with the spray hood and stack pack, and a new mainsail, and smaller genoa sourced from North Sails, along with a massive G2 genneker for downwind duties. Just waiting for it to get a bit warmer, then I will service the engine and diesel heater. Looks like 'D' day will be towards the end of April - at least the nights will be getting shorter, and hopefully, the days getting warmer. The plan is to see what the weather is doing when we are ready to leave, then decide which way round to go ( i.e. there is no plan ! ).
