Our last day in yachting fancy land...

We are spending our last few hours in the fancy yacht club of Ihla Bella, with heaps of fresh water, free coffee and facilites. Then we will be moving onto a mooring around the corner for a few days before heading of to Paraty, which is about a 10 hour sail up the coast. This will be our first sail/travel with Lucy on board, so I hope all goes well. Lucy seems to be adapting well to life on board so far, she loves her forepeak cabin, which nice and safe for her, and will be even safer once her net is up. She is growing at a rate of knots (no pun intended) and just gets cuter everyday. Unfortunately keeping up to date online is a little more tricky than I thought especially with Lucy, ans keping laptops charged on the boat is not really an option at the moment, so all typing has to be when we have a land power source. Well - we will do the best we can. I cannot believe it is Christmas in a weeks time! Crazy stuff. We cooked supper for the first time on the boat last night and drank the bottle of wine called ´First Sighting´that we received as a gift from the Hout Bay Harriers. Today we are off to Pereque to do some provisioning shopping, a whole different challenge with no car to load up, and then no proper fridge on the boat either! The fridge is really just a cooler box, as it draws too much power to be on all the time! Life´s priorities change somewhat! And thank goodness for the extra hands of Mom and Dael, otherwise things would be a whole lot more challenging! The other small thing that I did not mention in the last entry was the small thing of lucy swiming underwater and also that she stood by herself the other day for the first time! She is going to be walking in no time - then we are all going to be in trouble!
