WE STILL HAVE THINGS TO DO - Before we can go cruising Ep425
You could be forgiven for thinking I will never get to our Catamaran Cruising lifestyle but is isn’t as simple as casting off the lines. We need to ready the Cat, wind up our personal affairs and some jobs just simply need to be done. The list is huge, the effort is considerable but we are now only a 10 days from leaving our home and heading out.
