It is only February, and storm Imogen has been ravaging the south of England. With 60 knot winds inland and 95 knot winds recorded at the Needles, we are very glad not to be sailing now! However we have Deja Vu very much in mind and it is helping to get us through a round of DIY home projects that we have been putting off for too long.
Deja Vu’s sails are with the sailmaker for a recut of the jib and a repair of the main. Not a great outcome for a new boat, but we hope when they come back they will be perfect for this coming season. We are planning to leave our Marina in May and sail south, our destination being Corfu around mid July. We plan to return home for the latter part of July and all of August before returning to explore the northern Ionians in September. Meanwhile we are collecting things to take down to Croatia; additional bedding, a new prop for the outboard, lovely new gadgets we have collected as Christmas presents, almanacs for Greek waters, new head torches to name but a few. We plan to bring back some other things to make room for the new additions though, to keep our inventory under control.
