Today Was The Day But.......

SORRY, NO PICTURES THIS TIME.
(Our boat builder refused to send any photographs because he said it would spoil the effect on delivery.)

It's very difficult to concentrate on anything and make decisions if you don't have a definitive plan. Dates for delivery have come and gone, for various reasons. The main reason being that our boat builders want to make sure that we are getting what we want and not what they want to sell us. To that end every minute detail has been attended to with the greatest of care.

That is why Sue and I have tried our best to stay calm. So when the final confirmation comes it is hard not to get over-excited.

As we are now!!!

We had a call this morning confirming delivery to be tomorrow morning...YES!

So we are now running around like headless chickens making sure we have everything, or maybe nothing of what we need. Top of the list... Champagne for the launch... Video camera to shoot it... Glasses for the Champagne... Kettle... Wine... Tea... Coffee... Wine... Cups... Bedding... Wine... Clothes... Clothes Hangers... Wine... Toothbrush... Toothpaste... Wine... the list is endless.... Oh and some wine, mainly Rioja. After all it will be 'The Grape Escape'.

Hope our poor old trusty Volvo (now 227,000+ miles old) can take the strain of so many boxes (mainly Rioja).

You would think we were going to the far end of the Earth.

The ridiculous thing is, we will probably never be any further that 15 feet from land at anytime!

When we get settled in, I will bombard this blog with pictures and information.

As a matter of interest, I have been looking at the statistics for our blog and it seems we have had viewings from as far afield as Singapore, Venezuela, USA, Canada, Hungary, Poland, Germany, Italy and Ireland.
We are surprised that our little blogsite is attracting so much interest. Thank you, and I hope we can keep you interested as we cruise.

Please return when you can.
