Well all the last minute jobs have been done. James and I serviced the engine over the weekend which was a good thing as my impellor was missing a tooth, checked the rig over and yesterday spent a few hours scrubbing Doris’ now bare bottom.
This morning I made breakfast for Frey & James before giving him a big hug before he set off for work. James man, thanks for all the help with the boat and I look forward to hooking up again soon. Good luck with finding the next boat!
All that remains to do is check out of Antigua and get going. The weather this morning is squally and the fact that I haven’t sailed for nearly 2 months make conditions look worse than they really are. It’s only about 10nm around to Green Island and then on to Barbuda for a night or two before going for the big one…
This is probably my last dose of internet for a while but I will be posting regular updates via the Sat phone.
So signing off for a while and we should set sail about midday today…. With the Atlantic crossing beginning around Weds 6th May.
A new adventure begins …
