Orion - first blog

The trip to Plymouth was a very small taste of the good things to come! Our new crew member John enjoyed the delights of England including the start point, Eastbourne, then Brighton, Weymouth and Dartmouth. All great places! Keith joined us in Plymouth in time for us to finish the little jobs necessary before setting out. Already we have made some great friends and have had some “too good” nights! The party boat has been determined and it is not ours. The rally crew are very helpful and a preview of the visiting ports in Spain and Portugal are tantalising. Tomorrow is the big day. We head out at 9. Be great to start after all the preparations. Our first big ocean crossing! Bayona, here we come!
