October 29 – Weymouth -Monday Hopefully I will have better weather the next couple of days. I am booked up and paid here through Tuesday night and the plan is to head to France Wednesday. I will have to catch a train to Portsmouth if I want to catch the ferry to Caen, France Wednesday night, Evening – I’ve had a very long and tiring day I walked all the way down the Esplanade to the King George Statue then kept going till I got to the Yacht harbor then across and back up the other side. It was a bit cold but not too bad. This city is a very picturesque one and has lots of little streets with interesting shops. I had to resist the temptation to buy some of the clothes displayed because ... read more

Our plan for the next few days was to get over to Poole to another motorhome fitting company who specialised in solar panels, satellite dishes, gaslow and leisure batteries. We had booked Suzy in for all of them and hoped that this experience would be better than the one with the strikeback alarm system and tracker . We woke early as we couldn’t sleep. The plan had been to get up at the usual time and then set off for Dorset. However we found we woke at 3.30 and decided not to bother trying to go back to sleep again but instead to have a quick breakfast before setting off. It felt a long drive going out in the darkness. Being March, dawn seemed to take a long time to break. It always though feels a ... read more

Perthamina has had an exciting trip on her own. We left her in Tortola, after a few weeks in the virgin islands. A company there called island yacht management agreed to deliver her to the ship in St Thomas . First they had to relaunch her, and then anchor off for a night before she was loaded. They were excellent. The ship, the Snoeckgracht, went to Rhode Island first and then 10 days later we were told by Peters and May that the boat was arriving on the 23rd. It was really odd to see our boat perched on top of a ship, but soon got on board, all seemed fine. We checked that everything was working, including the navigation lights and engine, then watched all the ot her boats being carefully lifted into the water. ... read more

The day before the big departure..... Facebook informs me i've been 'packing' for nearly 2 days...and it's not an exaggeration. Thinking the biggest challenge of the whole trip could possibly be equipping myself for trekking in the snow, walking in the rain and of course. lying on a beach. Meeting Kate and Carla at Kathmandu airport, can't wait to hear all about their Africa adventures. Although it's been awful saying goodbye to friends at home for 7 months, it'll be great to see Kate, Carla, and Ben who i'm flying out with. People keep asking me what my plans are for each country, which is worrying because there aren't really any.... My answers are therefore vague and subject to drastic alterations. Trekking in Nepal is as concrete as the first 6 gets. Today I've ranged from ... read more
