ITCHENOR ARRIVAL


It's been 20 days since we have arrived in this cute sea side village and I have done some other journaling, however we don't have a wifi connection on board so it's been difficult. There have been so many details that need attending and blogging is way down on the list. I had also been discouragaed because I'd written a piece at the airport and because I never had my password with me I couldn't publish it.

OK enough excuses. Since our arrival most things have gone according to plan. Our four boxes had arrived before us and so we unloaded them and moved on board. We rented a car to get around and do all our shopping. Our first visit was to Tesco (Costco) where we bought what we thought were the basics, However we did two more shops after that for the rest of the basics. We also did two big shops for chandlery stuff, marine gear, safety equipment etc.

We have beeen out with the boat (SA) in 20 knot winds and she felt seady and secure with waves pounding over the bow. The weather here has been mixed with cool temperatures which is really just the way I like it.

Most days we have lunch and dinner on board. Meals are fast and clean is easy.

Now I just have to figure out have to attach photos into these blogs. In the meantime I will copy and paste the entries I have made earlier.
