Womble Log – Final Preparations



Wednesday 19th and Thursday 20th January 2005

Wednesday 19th January 2005
The forecast is not good. The winds tomorrow are not safe for me to leave and I may have to postpone until Monday.

I’m deeply unhappy about this but it has to be done for the safety of the project and myself. I intend to use the time, fixing last minute snags and trying to get the computers to talk to the telephone. I’ve been working on the problem for ages now and it is getting to me a bit. I know that it is the elusive correct stoke of the key, but I really do want to keep my web site live from the ocean and it looks as if that may not happen.

Thursday 20th January 2004
I’ve just seen the forecast for the weekend and decide to leave at 10 a.m. tomorrow. The boat is now ready, all ballast is in, and hatches tight. I will get a few fresh provisions form the supermarket in the morning and go. Happy Birthday Dave the Frock and Barbados Vince!
