Back in the UK

I'm back in Hampshire in England enjoying the fantastic weather we've been getting and catching up with family and friends. My eldest brother's wedding was last friday and it was a beautiful day, great to catch up with so many family members I haven't seen for almost ten years. The last time I was home was almost four years ago and it's amazing how very few things have changed but still a huge culture shock from life on the boat...have to admit i'm enjoying the creature comforts!

Jimmy is back in Rebak marina after a quick trip with his mum down to Penang island to do a quick restock. Pat flew home to Florida on the 5th and Jimmy's now working hard on all the annual boat jobs that need to be addressed including Varnishing, rewiring and waterproofing. Blue Moon is scheduled for a haul out on the 30th of July for 5 days and with me still here in England Jimmy has a lot of work to do sanding & painting the hull single handed!

I want to wish our friends Eli and Jorn on the boat 'Silene' Congratulations on returning home to Norway after three years at sea! And an even bigger Congratulations as Eli is pregnant for their first child ...Good luck guys and hope you enjoy your new adventure!!!
