Ahoy,
I think I am an old man now and if not I am on the way.
Now at forty years of age I wonder if I will ever grow up. I hope not.
The other day I heard that wisdom overcomes adversity, they did not say where I could get a small bottle of wisdom from, if anyone knows, please let me know. In the next week I hope to be in Belle Ile getting ready for the passage to Baiona. At the moment I am researching fitting methods for the Hydrovane and measuring up on the transom, with I confess a little anxiety as I do not want to start drilling holes in the Ol' Girl and discover they are incorrectly placed. Drilling holes in a boat is fraught with worry as it is, I hope it will not be a Hypo strain and I am not too Hypo vain?!
I think I have the measure of it so to speak and will crack on after lunch.
Now, I dare not say too much or un-cross my fingers but I may have found a company willing to insure me for the coast of Spain and Portugal, maybe even to Gran Can?(everything crossed at this point)
Another thing I am hoping for a little of the best fortune with is the gift of the C-Map charts for my chart plotter, they are soooooo expensive, and I am out of the range of the ones I bought in Plymouth, so I have asked the producers for a little help (now asking others to cross things).
Now it's time for a healthy lunch before getting to grips with a tape measure, drill etc. in a dingy at the back of the Ol' Girl.
