Finally got some news

Well, the account of our cruise hasn't yet materialised and now all sorts of things have happened in a boaty way.

The plan to winter her in Emsworth fell foul of the atumnal weather and we wound up being stuck in Torquay for rather longer than we would have chosen. We also started hunting round for somewhere to keep her in South Devon and are now happily esconced at Darthaven Marina in Kingswear. It feels a bit odd to be based in the Dart having visited it so often.

The other item only came in today. My workplace have agreed to me taking a two month extended leave next August to October so we will be able to cruise Sarah G down to Gibraltar or somewhere in southern Spain.

Details will of course have to be worked out but it is a lot of fun to be able to definitely plan an extended cruise. We are looking on it as a way of dipping our toes in the long term cruising malarky while still having an easy route out if it isn't for us.

I will be down there working on her all next week so will try to do some updates and perhaps some photos.
