The Final Countdown!

After years of talking about our dream of sailing off into the sunset, the day is rapidly approaching when we will lockout of Ipswich lock and not be returning for a very long time.

We are still doing final touches to Offbeat, but as we have achieved some key milestones this week, we have set a tentative departure date for Thursday 12 July.

We have quite a lot to do in our final week, making sure that Offbeat is ready and fit to go and we have everything thing we need for our adventure. We will also be spending every evening  seeing all our wonderful family and friends before we go.

How's it all going to fit! 

Over the last few weeks, we've started to say our goodbyes to our family and friends and there have been tears, but with the promise of free bed and board to those that visit I think we'll have lots of visitors!
