Very precise timing
How did you predict a weather window so far in advance or are you going to depart come what may ?

Two months and one week (weather permitting)
then slowly through the French canals until we reach the Med.
Yes the list of jobs seems never ending, but end it must.

That's the nice thing about being in the Solent we can do the big departure with fond farewells. The all we have to do is motor over yo Osborne bay, drop the hook and recover before actually setting off.

The to do list never gets smaller, as you cross one thing off the top you add two more to the bottom, in the end you just decide to take it with you!

Since we started this malarkey my wife has become a professional list maker, my excuse of beer got in the way is wearing thin....

Oh dear, that's a worry. We've a "Derek the dinghy" too, I thought we were the only nutters that did that sort of thing. We also have a "Katie the Kayak" though so maybe we're further en-route to the asylum than you!

I think it's a pre-requisite, don't worry we have Ray the chart plotter, Jenny the generator, Breezy, Windy, Carrie and Suzi!

Haven't got as far as naming the dinghy, but we do have Steve the ST1000, and Nando the Navik...
(Am I overthinking this when I notice nobody ever names their autopilot a female name?)

We have Vera the steerer or Ivor the driver!

Ah now you are clearly a pro at this and realise that syllables are important - Der-ek the Din-ghy, Kay-tie the kay-ak, Ve-ra the Steer-er, I-vor the dri-vor!
That's proper quality that is!
We go off-piste a little and have Jenny Watts (generator), Juicy Amps (solar power), Windy Watts (windgen).....
oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, the shame, the public shame.......
