The house is on the market (email us if you want to buy a barn with cottage and bread-oven in the heart of rural Normandie!!) and we've spent hours trawling the web, trying to pin down the boat we think we want. I've completed a 'competent crew' course and happily, didn't feed the fish.
There's a lot to learn and the house market is slow at the moment, so we planned to head off to Gibraltar for a couple of weeks sail training in June.
Meanwhile we're down in Tournon St Martin renovating the house we'll be moving to. It's interesting. No inside loo, no shower or bath, no adsl, the electrics have been condemned.... however it is only 2.5hours from la Rochelle! That's where Rene spent his birthday this year, drooling over the boats.
We're decided on a french boat - an Amel Sharki or a Maramu (see them here ) Bluewater cruising yachts, well made, at La Rochelle!
