We are both feeling somewhat strange tonight, trying to comprehend the start of our sailing adventure on Friday and the change of pace, lifestyle and finances that casting-off will bring. We probably should be really organized by now, but we both keep thinking of things that "must be done tomorrow". Today the liferaft and dinghy have been installed into their new positions, and tomorrow the food and kitchen pans and clothes.
I'll miss my bed, because it's so comfortable for my "nurses back". I'll miss our new bathroom and laundry which is still a novelty even after 12 months. I'm struggling to decide what clothes to take because space is so limited. I want to take a range of personal sentimental things and photos too but the salt air may cause them to deteriorate. The sea motion also breaks lots of things.
All of the decisions that need to be made on the details of arrangements is exhausting, but tomorrow night (Thurs) is the deadline because we will sleep on Crazy Lady from then onwards. We will make an early start to sail up to Ulladulla from Batemans Bay on Friday morning. The renaming ceremony of Crazy Lady (making it her official name and deleting the previous one) will take place when enough friends and "bubbly" have arrived. I hope to see many of you there at 6 or 7ish at the wharf.
Bye for now
Jen

Hey Guys, Just wanted to say happy adventuring and that we will miss our neighbours terribly! However we will see you in Wollongong and while you are making your way back up the caost in Feb we will be caravanning down the south caost. We will wave at any yachts we see - just in case. Love Robyn and Danny
