Chilling in London

Just back into the swing of things after a couple of days off in London - what a mad week it's been! With all the worries of the weather, water in the fuel tanks, getting to the bridge on time it's been tremendous to have a couple of days with friends and family off the boat - but now very glad to be back and getting the boat ready for the arrival of our new crew tomorrow and the start of Leg 3.

After moving the boat back to St. Katharine Docks on Saturday morning, after stopping London traffic for the 2nd time that week raising Tower Bridge, it's been very quiet on the boat - and also much less bumpy than when we were alongside HMS Belfast. Although walking across Tower Bridge last night, still can't quite believe we were moored up alongside HMS Belfast - pretty cool place really.

Had a great weekend, listening to Ellen's talk, going out and meeting friends, and I even played some Uno!! And I won!! I don't think my husband is a fan now though!

Cath and I were back on the boat again yesterday getting Scarlet ready for the start of Leg 3. Was a good day and sat on the boat last night, just the two of us was odd - lovely to have time to chat to each other and catch up though. Very restful sleep and now back to updating blogs and still having to clean our fuel tanks!! Guess should be off to get that started.

looking forward to meeting all our leg 3 crew tomorrow - see you then. Will be another fab trip!
Until then
Karen
