Setting off Wednesday

[kunyang]

So, the shakedown cruise is done. most things went well, so we're heading West on Wednesday, 2 weeks to get to Falmouth, pick up a couple of crew and then head to Portugal. If you see us on our journey, pop over for a chat and a drink.

I should add, the yacht is a Moody 42name Spindrift of Hamble.

Fair winds.

...we're heading West on Wednesday...

Have fun, but bear in mind that as you're now a cruiser/livaboard, if it's even vaguely cold, wet, contrary winds, uncomfortable seas or indeed even if everything's perfect, but you just feel that you can't be arsed; there's always Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sun...

That bit is difficult to get used to. Especially when everyone around you is often working to a timetable.

I keep feeling that we should be leaving, just because most other visitors here move on in a day or two, and I'm happy to stay because I like it here. In Corunna.

Don't be in too much of a hurry. Avoid deadlines. Wait for the winds to become favourable. Enjoy.

Never have truer words been said. The best thing that we found when we set off was the fact that we could stop longer in places that we liked instead of rushing around to 'get it all in' on holiday.

[Wansworth]

When is it forecast to move off?

 

[Wansworth]

Gave up looking butgeneral trend is for it o move east acrossSpain as usual... although at this time of the y3ar it ought to be warm and sunny.

Thanks for the comments, hopefully we'll settle down to the pace of life and we do intend to go with the flow ☺
