Ty Dewi the toy boat

It's all a bit crazy here because the shipping company emailed us just after my previous posting to ask if we could load on the ship on the 8th instead of the 18th. That gave us three days notice, so here we are, packing and preparing like mad.

We decided to book into a marina (this is becoming a bit of a habit) and they said sure, but we don't have any space on the South dock so we'll put you in an 80 foot slip at our north dock for the same price. Er, OK, thanks, I say, not knowing what the difference is.

Well, the difference is that this is a dock for BIG boats. We look a little out of place here but hold our heads up high none the less. I'm pleased to say we do have the biggest boat on this dock if you go by height.....

And when the guy next to us fills his diesel tanks, he spends more than we have in eighteen months of cruising.
