After spending a busy Spring working on the boat: trying to sort out alternator, installing AIS, converting the exhaust system, renewing all the water pipes in engine etc etc. we are spending a very busy few weeks trying to get ourselves ready for THE BIG TRIP.Now that we have passed the ICC and CEVNI and that we have a generator in case the alternator doesn't perform, the plan is to leave Cowes midday on 10th June weather permitting, to catch the tide to Bembridge and from then point to le Havre...

We are still recovering from the excitment of seeing Erick from Purmerend, who arrive on his barge Nooit Gedracht, younger sister (by 1 year) to Wilhelmina but bigger by 3 m. We learnt more in the 5 days he stayed alongside us than in the last 10 years! Erick is now sailing towards the West Country.
