Dream Over - I think.


The plan is and always was that at the end of August we would take Haku to Port Napoleon near Marseille and sell her. On the 24th we dutifully sailed in with a very sad crew and in particular skipper. A series of rather contemplative songs over the last hour through the bimini speakers ending with Disney's Hakuna Matata brought our long journey to an end.


Over the next few days we emptied and cleaned the boat ready for removal from the water and listed her for sale with Ancasta. We took all our belongings to Karen's in the Dordoigne and the came back to Port Napoleon for our haul out - only to find tht they couldn't lift the boat as she needs to be lifted. Nowhere else nearby can lift and store her so we now need a different solution and possibly a different place from which to sell.


So, is it back to Spain, off to Greece or Turkey? Or is the best place to sell her Fort Lauderdale via the ARC and the Caribbean?


Don't know yet, possibly Port Napoleon can solve the lifting problem perhaps we will move. In any case we can't stay here in the water as there is no space.


In the mean time we are in England gearing up for the new school term and wondering what the near future holds. Is the saga over?
