Enjoy the moment – not everything will go according to plan – sods law, rules on a boat so at times you have to just grin and bear it.

Sue and I went through the same fears and doubts when we bought our first boat in Australia so we should be able to overcome the initial challenges we are encountering.

We are scoring our days out of 10 - we haven’t had a 10 yet – but the scores are creeping higher.

We now are getting in the groove – things are less scary and we are beginning to get to grips with the boat and living on it. We are now getting days without dramas but I’m sure there will be challenges to face over the next few months.
