Moving Onboard

We finally moved onboard 5 days ago have slept like babies ever since. It maybe the 1000m walk out to our pen on the end of D jetty with wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow of 'stuff ' that is exhausting us or it may just be the gentle roll of the boat & the singsong of the wind in the rigging that is lulling us into a deep sleep. Either way its lovely to be back onboard & in our cosy bunk once more. Fitting everything onto the boat is another story & I must admit we have taken a few barrow loads back although I am not about to reveal just what. Who needs all that 'stuff' anyway!
So now we are all provisioned & just about ready to set sail. A few more boat jobs, those last minute things, a few farewell drinks, a few days relaxing & then we shall look at the weather & choose a good day to leave. There are a few boats going our way so we will have company on & off which will be nice.
Our plan is to take it easy up to Carnarvon, then sail across the Indian Ocean to Cocos Keeling Islands, north to Sumatra & on to Malaysia. Plans are to be in Langkawi for Christmas.
We will keep the blog updated with stories of our cruising as much as internet availabilty allows us & we would love to hear back from you either by posting on the blog or sending us an email.But for now its back to cupboard organising & checking the to do list (of which there is more than one!) So until we set sail....
