All our chores our done.
We’ve cleaned the boat, put things away, performed all our checks, provisioned for the trip, done the washing, made water, charged all the batteries, cleared out, raised the quarantine flag, retrieved our deposit for the dinghy dock key, dropped off trash, removed the outboard from the dinghy, raised and tied the dinghy, checked weather forecasts and sharpened the fish hooks.
We’re just about ready. Jacksters are popping over shortly for a quick email over SSB demonstration coinciding with our ‘Au Revoir’. Then we’ll eat and probably go to bed early. We’ll be off in the morning between 5am and 6am local time I expect. The forecast (to the extend you can trust them) are pretty favourable. Winds are forecast 15-20 knots along our route. Not all the time but quite fortunately about the time we’ll be at each spot. Chances are it won’t work out like that. Our ETA is Tuesday. If we have exceptional weather we’ll arrive Monday evening. If it turns out rubbish we’ll arrive later in the week.
