From months to weeks

This time in 4 weeks we'll be on our way. After months of planning and years of dreaming it is gradually starting to feel like a reality. Sometimes I can't stop thinking what it will be like to be away from home and work and to be in a remote anchorage somewhere. Other times I can't imagine it at all.
This weekend Graham finished off the wiring and installed the Sea-Me. That's a radar reflector that amplifies radar signals from other boats and thereby makes us more visible. It's an important safety feature. The sails were due to arrive but they have been delayed by a couple of weeks. We also detached the bow roller (where the anchor sits) and took it to be welded as it had a crack in it. As always as small job didn't end up being as straightforward as we'd thought. But we managed in the end.
Graham left this evening for a work trip to Holland. He's not back until Friday. I don't really like the thought of him being away. It brings back bad memories of his accident in France. I'll be glad when he walks back through that door on Friday.
