So......boat safely in Marina,few odd jobs to be done aka sails to go on this weekend and then we will be ship shape to go in time for our belated post new year hols (we gave up malaysian sunshine this year) starting in about a weeks time. Can't wait and getting her in the water is for a worthy cause......our grand voyage!
Yep today I had my leave signed off for us to take a month off in June to sail across to, France down the bay of biscay ending up in la rochelle and then back again! Steve had his leave signed off for this some time ago but in having mine signed off today means we together can start planning our epic voyage on Redsnapper.
This was a dream we talked about nearly a yr ago....a life goal in terms of sailing and our opportunity to do a big sail whilst both still working. Retirement is still along time and away and then the wide ocean awaits.
The elation today was amazing I am so excited as well as filled with some nervousness but the captain and das bot (aka red snapper) will get us there soundly come rain, or shine.
The opportunity to plan and do this together will just be swooper.....the planning starts now and have lots of ideas after following the grand voyages of pixie blog last yr when they did their grand tour of Scotland. There will be trials and tribulations I am sure both on and off the water but looking forward to the sights, sounds, amazing people and life experience it will bring.
