ohmigod just three weeks then

We are flying to Malaysia, to join a 62' Ketch that will be cruising to Singapore, Borneo, perhaps the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia....

Better get the vaccinations done then....

Oh, and we have three weeks to pack down the house contents, wind up the gardening business and get ready....

Still cutting grass...

Back to La Boutinais to cut grass... We just manage to get all the gardens done and down comes the rain. Aw shucks, guess I'll just have to stay inside and spend some time online!

I discover 'findacrew.net' and post a profile. Maybe there's someone out there who could use us as crew after we've done our training in June? I apply to 5 yachts....

and I get replies!!! Wow! Dutch Antilles to Scotland in May??? They say you haven't crossed the Atlantic unless you've done it via the Azores!! Mmm perhaps a little too adventurous at this stage?? Walk before we run??

We're tempted to turn our backs on the DIY and we're seriously considering some of the offers that have come in! How irresponsible but what fun ;o)
