Preparations

Well the boat is ready - as far as we know!  And we have a plan (see the link bottom right of this page).  Val has had some late scares with treatment on-going for a frozen shoulder and for glaucoma, but neither look like show-stoppers at the moment.

Goodness knows what we've forgotten, but we're hoping that it doesn't matter too much.  Val's brother, Alan, will be living in our house for much of the time that we're away, so hopefully will be able to attend to unexpected events (and to their mother!).

We plan to travel to Troon on Monday 13th May and set off on 15th - or as soon after as weather, boatyards and critical items we've forgotten allow!  The current forecast is pretty dire!

We'll be maintaining this blog on an occasional basis, mainly to help  people who plan to join us or meet with us to keep track of our progress.  There is a link to a list of "what to bring" on the bottom right this page.  Others who are interested - welcome - and watch this space!
