Cushions, press releases, survey results, sail-away events.....

It's all happening! So much to think about!

The survey results on Blue Star are very encouraging, although there is still some final negotiation to be done.......and a rather long list of jobs! Most of them relatively small ones fortunately.

Diane is busy making cushions for our boat, in all sorts of starry designs! See below.

The CF Trust has drafted a press release about our forthcoming voyage, to help raise the profile of cystic fibrosis, and hopefully to help us in our fund-raising efforts!

Did I tell you about our Sail Away 'party' which will be held over the week-end 16/17 May at Hythe marina near Southampton? On the 16th there will be a drinks reception, 'sail away' dinner, a talk about the challenge we have taken on, and an opportunity to step on board Blue Star to see what she is like! We hope there will be a celebrity attending to support our event too. We plan to depart from the marina on the first leg of our circumnavigation on the 17th at 1100hrs, hopefully with lots of people cheering us on our way! I have already let lots of friends know about this event, but if you would like to come and I have not yet mentioned it to you, do please get in touch with me! It would be great to have your support!
