With 48 hours to go, the minor leak is all mended (thanks to Mac, saint Clive and saint Vincent) and we have been safely moved and lifted back into the water. Phew, all good, no more water in the engine room. Huge thanks to Paul for driving down for the day and helping to prepare for the lift and then putting on sails, pumping up the dingy and a variety of jobs easier with more adults than children! Much appreciated Paul.

It is always quite a nervous shock to see your boat being driven across a car park, but all beautifully done. How strong are those straps??? (How many books have I loaded aboard for Hugo…)

She’s safely moored up and I can continue loading her up, without a perilous ladder from the ground now. Nearly ready….
