2008; what a wash out.

So much for up to the minute news about Renegade! Where did she go in 2008? Almost nowhere. But, this is a new year with the possibility of good weather and we have plans. Of course we had plans last year and they were ambitious, but that was then and this is now.

So this is my prediction for 2009. The rest of the winter will be mild, with suitable weather for getting Renegade into better shape than she has been for years. An early spring will be accompanied by warm weather and Renegade will cruise the east coast and visit London before heading for the channel and Brittany, where the crew will spend several blissful weeks in perfect weather. Favourable winds will make the passage home a delight. Oh yes, and the pound will strengthen against the Euro or we will be eating aboard every night.
