Time and tide wait for no man...

Time just seems to be escaping me.
I've done nothing and plenty in the past month.

Charl, my successor, joined us and I suppose we've had an extended hand-over period. He's been given some time-off which works out quite well for me.
I can reflect on what we've covered and what's left to discuss.
It also gives me a justifiable reason for hanging on.
but he'll return next week and at the end of that week I'll leave the boat.
After that I'll have about a week to finalise everything and send my things on.

Last weekend was pretty hectic.
Saturday I got up early to see Charl off.
Later, whilst I was out walking, I stubbed my toe and broke it.
I didn't realise it was broken till I got back on the boat and removed my socks.
Somehow I thought a broken toe would appear...more broken
Just some bruising and a little pain.  I think it's ok now.
Then while having beers with the Chef, my tooth broke.
Admittedly, I'd been having a bit of pain and had visited the dentist in the week, but he'd given me the all-clear.

What a day!

Yesterday I sat down and decided that the time had come to start organising my exit.
I have provisionally made plans for flights (Nice-Gatwick-Guernsey)
I've booked my ferry from Guernsey-St Malo.

Now it's just a matter of waiting for the time to pass.
Think I'll try out my five-finger shoes and see if my toe has actually healed

Hope the toe heals well and doesn't cause problems. Not a good day but could have been worse.It could have been worse - could have been a leg. K
