full boat

the arrival of four people and all their bits and bobsĀ  means that Harmony has been engulfed in a tidal wave of stuff

 

the car has been dumped 17 miles away with Nigel from YBW forum - he has seven boats in his drive so the polo will feel right at home. I keep on thinking about how confused poor old Maggie is.

the weather has come lovely so we are off to peterhead today - but not until the tide arrives. I cannot wait to get under way

 

the gear lever came loose yesterday - I bought some allen keys and will have to keep an eye on it.

    Hell’s teeth Dylan, we had enough trouble keeping track of kit on our trip – kinda looks like you are snowed under. Have a good passage to Peterhead. Already suffering serious withdrawal symptoms !

    Maggie is fine – she is getting over her hormones, and so far has not attracted the attention of the Black Lab across the road, so no puppies this time I think.!

    Those immortal words “We’re guna need a bigger boat spring to mind” Good luck, safe trip and keep up the brilliant posts.

    Get some teflon tape or LocTite for that bolt. A couple of wraps and it won’t work loose.

    Bloody hell mate looks like a clothes bomb has gone off, all the best to you and your family.

    Just read on the forum you’re feeling abit rough, must be that North Sea swell working its magic, still keep taking the Sturgeron, i dont think you can overdose on it.

    I am fine now, Dannie has been really suffering – I fear she will not sail another day, plans are afoot for a camping holiday in scotland over the next few days. Sitting under a tree is the way to go

    Its probably for the best, give yourselves a little time to rest and recuperate, like John i’m missing it too, bloody work would have to crop up now, still i’ll keep checking in to see how you’re getting on.

    cheers mate

    Hi Dylan & family
    It’s a nightmare if you have 1 or two people ill
    on board. Like you said to stop for a while is a
    wise move. Otherwise it just puts everyone off
    sailing.
    I send my best wishes to you all for happy and
    safe on-going journey. Keep up the
    Wonderful reports, it’s great following your progress.
