Sorry Phil
I have not been on this site for 2-3 weeks and have just seen your message. As for the boat prep, I started a refit back in October and had stripped the inside out and then had a accedent at work on the 1st of December so not done much more but I am hoping to get her back on the water by the end of April (she mite have to be finshed off next winter)
Unlike Cornwall, its been a cold winter. We had a hole week were we could not stand on the road let alone drive.

All the best

Hi Phil,
Ya, strange language - just close enough to spanish to be really confusing. And yes this winter is COLD - thought I'd freeze to death 'til I got as far south as Marathon (Vaca Key, FL).
You must be quite a sailor! I've heard the Biscay can be treacherous.
My learning curve has flattened out a lot. I'm sitting on a mooring waiting for electrical and rigging work to get done so I can get back to cruising and learning. But Hey! I've left work behind (for now) and don't have to be on a schedule.
Let's switch to email. Mine is roark . margo @ gmail . com [take out the spaces].
Cheers,
Margo

Hi Boatman,
Actually that was taken before I left it all behind. How's Portugal? Are you without a boat?
