Sailing Calypso! Wow, feels good to write those words - I know plenty of people have husbands who spend 30 years in their garden shed building a boat which never hits the water - and I should be grateful it only took 9 months - but........ the boys are very glad to have their dad back - and so am I! Jeremy and Fiona took Calypso up to the boat show and we brought her back, my sister at the helm (first time out in a sailing boat). Contessa 32s really are beautiful to sail. Any compromising on space down below is immediately forgotten on a trip like that, into the wind, and making really good progress. This weekend is the New Forest Festival not to be missed, so our first trip with the boys will have to be next weekend - they are already finding their sleeping bags and dreaming of Newtown Creek! yippee.
