Stay Positive

Ahoy,



a break from the Blog seems over. It is true the Ol' Girl and I have not known what to say for some time now. Some of the time no WiFi caused this, however,most of the time I had no idea what to say.

We are meeting and having to say farewell to so many like minded and kind people that this is something I would have tried to mentally prepare for before leaving the UK. I have realised that it is a part of sailing life, and it is more difficult than we ever imagined it could or, would be.

Add to this some concerns about the single handed crossing and a personnel financial crisis just before leaving, not to mention not doing as well as I had hoped in the fund raising department, all this combined left me feeling I did not have much to say.

As I have said before in the absence of light only darkness remains, if I had not had the help from the people I have met along the way as well as some family and friends from my past this adventure would have been left in the dark long ago, despite what I have accomplished on my own, without the better people of the world I think I would have failed already.

These two weeks before the crossing will be a most challenging time, I have to fill the Ol' Girl with, food, water and more water, sort out some spares and stay positive, not to mention try and raise more awareness as far as the fund raising is concerned.
