Not so much "farewell", more "au revoir"

Well we're off home today, leaving Follyfin high and dry at Arzal.

She was lifted out of the water on Monday afternoon, and 'propped'. Here she will stay whilst we return to Yorkshire for about 6 weeks before returning for late summer sailing in September.

Since Monday, she has been undergoing essential maintenance and cleaning whilst her crew have been living aboard. The wonderful spell of weather, providing temperatures of over 30 degrees every day, has encouraged the workers to make full use of the cool of the early morning and late evening. Mad dogs etc.! Now fully in favour of late lunch and siesta ... dining on deck around 21:00. The view is not that great but a short walk takes us down to the river edge.

Now looking forward to a short 'holiday' at home; it won't be too relaxing though as we expect several visitors and have two weddings to attend (one in Scotland and the other in Germany), not to mention helping daughter and future son-in-law move their 'stuff' down from Yorkshire to their new house in London. Should be fun!

Blog postings to resume early in September ...
