First Quarter

Most of this time was spent sorting the berth with ropes and fenders and getting to grips with all the equipment. Twenty years using a wooden tiller and now a steel wheel and autopilot. Hand held GPS and a pencil give way to electronic plotter. Once woolly jumpers now diesel central heating. An even have ice cubes with my gin and tonic! We were looking forward to our inaugural trip at Easter. Ever optimistic we replaced the full enclosure with the Bimini just before the great day.
