Post one - location. At Desk in London

Ok, so I have a long to do list and on it was start a blog. Done.

I should be able to keep this up during the week using the dongle and laptop onboard...

Still to sort out at the moment are the backstay ram in the rigging shop, food!!, a fair bit of Nav prep and how to play music loud enough onboard. All that is not ideal really, particularly as I won't get to the boat until late friday evening!

Looking ahead the week looks like it won't throw anything nasty at us weatherwise - see www.ecmwf.int I'm feeling a little apprehensive, particularly about French tides, but quitely confident. 65hrs to go....I'm convincing myself I like my own company.

    Hi Pa,

    Apart from the dodgy grammar, the blog looks great !!

    You've also mis-spelt blog in your intro - I really hope it won't be your 'bog' for the week, as that would be a bit smelly really
