The date is set for the move and we have started to spread the news amongst family and friends. So far (surprisingly) everyone is very supportive and share our enthusiasm maybe because we have spoken about this dream for such a long time they just want us to go, experience it and once and for all SHUT UP about it!!!
The realisation of the mammoth task ahead of us has finally hit and I for one am starting to feel the pressure to meet the deadline. I am not even referring to the sailing aspect, we have just managed to settle in a lovely townhouse and feel like I have just only unpacked a house, to now start thinking about packing again is torture and causes major stress in the relationship. James of course manages to stop stressing now that the boat side of things is progressing and has already started to plot our course for our first sailing destination.
During this process I am having to explore new primary school, child care facilities, ballet schools, swimming schools, a family doctor along with all our other ties to the community. I am starting to realise we have become what I dreaded for such a long time....complacent and comfortable!!! And then it hits me, we have every creature comfort around us, established careers, fabulous support networks, a wonderful group of friends and above all happy kids......ARE WE MAD????
