2012

It's been a while since I have written, in fact 2012 has arrived.

What I have noticed since being in the Medina is how busy it is despite the fact that Christmas has been & gone.  The other major difference I've experienced is that I have only had one real frost on my decks, what a difference from this time last year, when there was many inches of snow all over me on top of ice and my then owner was good enough to keep me warm & dry with two radiators and a dehumidifier.

Whilst the pontoon I'm currently on doesn't have electrics, I don't seem to need it, I'm not cold.

My skipper has been liaising with the Hanse distributer in the Hamble and at the end of January I'm going to be tacken over there, where all my hull windows are to be replaced.  The temporary job he made in Falmouth is still on my port side and still keeps water ut as well as it did when it was first fitted.  In fact people are getting to know me as the boat with the wooden window !

I am expecting my crew next weekend to come and make sure all my batteries are ok and get me ready to go over.  Hopefully this will be the beginning of a busy year !
