Three Party Time

Ahoy,

fanbloodytastic, the Ol' Girl has third party cover all the way down to the Canaries. That by itself is better news than I had expected, however, what really puts the icing on the cake is that Ol' HNJ supplied it, contrary to there original view. I have no idea why they changed their position, I am just very grateful they have. So everything is back on course so to speak, all that remains to be done in Groix is fit the new AIS, when it arrives, stock up on provisions and wave this very beautiful and sympathetic island farewell.
I also have two ongoing projects to give me something to think about, making my own Navtex weather receiver to link into my PC and learn how to sail with the Hydrovane. I cant decide which will be easier, I hope the latter will be, as having a virtual second mate that gets its energy from the wind will help a lot.
So I'm now off to check the post, I hope the AIS has arrived and works when I re-fit it.
Blast, no post today, maybe tomorrow, at least the cool Captain here seems to be very understanding, despite the money he is not making out of me, what a top chap.
Now it's time to do some research on Baiona.
