Today I pass a key milestone for the adventure, boat launch! I’m really excited because this is the end of the planning and preparation phase! I have planned a week’s commisioning so will be moored on a marina berth for easy access. This time next week, weather permitting, I’ll be on my way!

Johan,
Thanks for the message, much appreciated.
I wish it were all plain sailing. The furling gear for the genoa is proving troublesome during today’s sea trial. I replaced racing style tuffluff because I thought changing sails single handed would be too difficult. The furling gear is so stiff I have to winch the furling line this afternoon. Okay it was 25 kts gusting 35kts but even so, serious effort. Heaven forbid I have to work in gale!
