We spent Friday at the US embassy London, we had to wait four hours for the Visas, the children were fantastic considering the long wait with nothing to do!
We have all been away for a couple of days at Quaker Camp near Chester. It was great to catch up with all our friends, but a long trip for just two days! We went around Chester with a 'Roman Soldier' on Saturday! I now know in detail how the Romans wiped their bums and have some embarrassing video of some friends acting out how it's done!
Octopus is due to arrive in Southampton tomorrow and on the 7th of September she is handed over to us, at last! The plan is spend Friday night on her with Mike and some of our friends and then sail around to West Bay, Bridport, leaving Southampton at first light Saturday morning. We will then be based at West Bay for a couple of weeks to fit out Octopus with all the electrical, navigation gear and safety gear etc. It’s been a long wait and it’s difficult to believe we are almost at the end.
