A big few days ! Mark, Noel and I are absolutely exhausted getting our little boat in ship shape. The mast is in with it's brand new rigging, and electrics. Evening Star is looking beautiful.
Frances, Sam and Luke O'Connor came to the club yesterday to say goodbye. Fran who has no idea about boats couldn't watch the mast being lifted by crane back into the boat and made me go for a walk ! She realised that if they got it wrong we might have one big hole in our deck (thanks Frannie)!

Alastair was pretty pleased with the naming of his little Bic sailing boat - I had stickers made with "Flash" and a flash symbol.
I have spent today cooking casseroles, soup, another Coles shop and packing Mark and Alastairs clothes. I still haven't packed my gear. It's just too hard figuring out what I can take and what will fit in my cupboards on the boat. Will work that out tomorrow !
