Wednesday 30/6/16

Arrived at boat yesterday after good nights stop in Amsterdam.  All jobs done (boat looking rather strange without its mast) and bills paid.  So off south tomorrow, planning to stop in Edam tomorrow night.  Boat stocked up after a visit, in the rain, to my favourite Co-op.

Final bill!

Mast down, wrapped and ready to be transported down to Port Napolean 

Very strange to have no mast

Umbrella needed. Tell me again why we're heading south!!

  

Fat Boat to the Med

The new boat. Half Moon, is now in Stavoren, Freisland, waiting for us to fly out on Tuesday, 28/6/16, to start our trip south to the Med. This new adventure will take us through the Netherlands, Belgium and France, then into the Med.

Half Moon is a Beneteau 36 CC, built for comfort, hence the fat in the title, and long term live-aboarding.


She's had her mast removed by the boat yard and hopefully a whole lot of other jobs have been done ready for us to jump on board and set off.

We shall see; plans and boats are not usually happy bedfellows, but whatever happens, it's the start of a new adventure for us.

The Route!

It's a bloody long way.
