The final countdown has begun, All last urgent last minute jobs have been completed and we are ready to start our new adventure. Thursday was Caryn’s last working day and it was spent getting her replacement up ad running and finishing off the remaining work. Alex has joined us for a few days and has been a great help. He will leave tomorrow in our faithful Volvo so it too is starting a new adventure.

We had a flag cermony this evening where we lowered the Norwegian flag and hoisted the French.

We are now ready to set sail for new adventures under the French flag and should be leaving our home for the last four years in the late morning.

There have been a lot of people wishing us goodbye and all are wondering when we shall be back. It is difficult for them to understand that this chapter is closed and a new one is opening. We hope however that many of them will meet us again in new waters in the future.
