Anne and Gordon are setting off round the world in their sailing boat, EQUINOX, a Moody 38, in June 2008 and returning September 2011; Yes 3 years. The boat is presently undergoing a refit in preparation.

The boat is presently out of the water and I have a long list of jobs in preparation for the round the world trip. I am fitting 4 solar panels for example. Most other equipment is fitted and has been well proven. My water maker has never been tried, though, but I must be at least 25 nm offshore before I can try it, in order to get clean water. So maybe I'll do that in May.
