The weather waiting game

Well the prayers worked.....well almost! The sun is shining, weather warmed but shipping forecast is still a tad too gusty to set off on Saturday. So das captain and I took the executive decision today to not go hell for leather tonight and go down to das bot tomorrow night but head off Saturday and then wait......looks like Monday could be the day.

That's sailing for you, always dependent on the elements...but after a hectic wk at work we can finish the big pack up in a more relaxed fashion.

The excitement absolutely kicked in today.....can't quite believe we almost off. Das captain has had sleepless nights this wk dreaming about the Raz De Sein.....I say good on as that means a good swail!

So all being well we,ll be off....the sun will be shining in the Marina so won't make the wait too painful, as we do the last min boat chores. Fuel...check.....water.....check....fresh food shop check......last min toast to the gods for a smooth channel crossing and then......extra prayers for the Chenal de Four and Raz de Sein....check! Happy hols and swailing here we come....tgi Friday will have a whole new meaning tomorrow.
