We've moved aboard!

After a pretty frenetic week, the house is empty and polished ready for its first tenant; we had a viewing on Friday so our fingers are crossed. It took us two car journeys to bring our 'essentials' down to the boat so we're now scratching our heads and wondering where we'll stow it all!

After last week's gale (apparently Thursday night was really wild with white water and wind-blown spray in the harbour) the weather has calmed down. We plan to spend the next couple of days here, sorting the boat and buying food stores, before heading down to Falmouth. There we'll meet our Best Man Simon, who's a GP in Truro, to collect our medical supplies then we'll watch the forecast with great interest to find a settled 3 or 4 days to sail down to Spain.

We've had wonderful messages and cards from friends - thank you all for your support. Just got to get on with it now!
