Preparing Neidin for first trip of the 2011 season. 18th March 2011.

Worked late last night readying Neidin for her first sail of the season. Sails ready, fuel checked, nav equipment correctly programmed, and three cylinder 29hp Volvo Penta all working as required. Thanks to Dara Cunningham of Curlew for helping turn Neidin to face outwards for her morning departure.

Watched Brian Michael Radford's wonderfully nostalgic "Il Postino" on the TV and then off to my cabin in preparation for an early start in the morning. Both weather and Neidin looking good at this time!
