The story so far......

Over 20 years ago Steve and I planned to go sailing round the world and home school our 2 children as we went. Now, in 2012, our daughter Kath is married and our son Paul gets married in July. And... we are finally going sailing in August. Over the next few months we will add to 'Chewsy's' inventory, and prepare her for long distance cruising. We had strengthening work done on the main bulkhead over last winter. We had a new engine installed in 2009, have new rigging and good sails. She is raring to go. However, there are a few bits and pieces that need to be dealt with; a new suitcase generator, windscoops, manual waterpump, cockpit chartplotter, etc, etc,etc
