The winter in the UK seemed to fly by even though we both didn't get full time work. P eventually began working full time for NHS Professionals in Portsmouth Hospitals but G was less successful with only "odd job man" maintenance work coming in, but this gave us pocket money to keep us going through the winter. We could write all about our working lives but it really is monotonous and would have you changing pages quicker than ever! We really do understand why people don't send many emails in the summer months when all they have to talk about is their working life.
We returned to Crazydream late March to get her ready for the summer, bottom needed painting and a polish of the hull was required. These completed she was able to leave her winter berth ashore in Leros.
The weather threw us a bit in that it was cold - the sun would shine but the wind was strong and from the north thus dropping the temperature considerably. We soldiered on - with coats on, and got all the jobs done and Crazydream floating again. We now just wait for the right weather window to get started on our summer cruise 2011.
