WE HAVE TAKEN DELIVERY
Today we took the final brief from Chris at Sunbird Yachts, filled in the Beneteau check list and set up the final payment. We now have the keys and have started the loading of goods and equipment, which constitutes our whole life's belongings from now on.
We are a bit worried about stowage space, so will make the aft port cabin into a storage room. Here we will store the tools, bikes, spares, extra clothes, Heathers shoes etc. The wine will have to go into the bilges. The fishing rods, dive cylinders, kedge anchor and spare chain and rope will go into the lazarette lockers.

LAUNCH !
On the 2nd April 2013 KWANZA was put in the water.
She was moved by cradle hoist from her on-land stand to the marina launch area. As she was slowly lowered into the sea at high tide, four of the marina staff held her off the wall. She was then moved to the visitors berth just in front of the marina office building.
Great day for a launch. Sunny and calm but very cold......
