We arrived back in Les Sables Sunday 4th after a nice 7hr drive from Mami’s house in the North, ready for handover of our new boat. Next day we met Oliver again from Lagoon, along with our friend Javier from Catamarans Barcelona, also our broker. After going over the boat we headed out to sea for a test sail. All went smoothly and we celebrated that night with Javier and JC from SAS, ending up ejected from the bar and continued on board Sephina with Javier playing Spanish guitar blues and a good sing-a-long for all. Nice start to our next misadventures !
Since then we have been enjoying Springtime in France. A trip to Nantes to see Machine world and home via the scenic village of Clisson. In between we have been getting Sephina set up as our new home, and Jen is loving her new kitchen (galley) (me too !)
Today we put the new decals on the outside to personalise her a bit. Its busy here with various companies preparing the new lagoons for their new owners. As I look up the dock there are 4 Lagoon 380’s, 4 400’s 6 450’s and a 39 in the process of commissioning.
Today marks 2 years to the day that we were here collecting our first cat. A lot of miles and smiles since then and we are excited to begin the next leg of the journey. Jen rang Mami to wish her happy Mothers day but got the dates wrong again, its not for another 3 weeks
We are hoping to head to La Rochelle in a few days to begin installation of solar panels, Watermaker, inverter and some additional gear before we head toward Spain.
As Wendi has renamed our first Sephina, we decided to keep the name for this one as well. She is registered as Sephina in Australia and at the moment we are calling her Sephina S2, or the new Sephina or the boat…
The new MMSI (maritime mobile service Identification) number has been issued so you can probably keep track of us online here or here. (click on the blue words Dad)
