Sudden Rush of Blood to the Head!

Waaahhhooo!!!!


After a nail biting morning in front of the online auction, Fedoa is OURS and we find ourselves the proud owners of a 59' rather rotten but stunningly beautiful wooden yacht...!! We've had a week for reality to set in and to research all the interesting, possible and 'wing and a prayer' ways of getting her back to the Island because of course at the moment she doesn't float!!

Anyway this is the very first step on the way to our dream...our little daughter Stella is a water baby so maybe sailing around the world is not such a mad proposition after all...especially now we have a home...let's just hope we set sail before Stella starts university!!

Will keep you up to date as things develop...I have yet to meet the lovely lady but from P's enthusiastic rants (and pictures below) I just know I'm going to fall in love with her too.
