A well earned rest!
OK… what have I been up to over the past week since returning from the trip? Well, it certainly isn’t blogging is it? 
I have been relaxing mainly. I haven’t even cleaned up the boat yet. I have removed all the urgent stuff like food, toiletries, clothes etc but that is about it. Everything else is still on the boat eactly as it was when I arrived back in Plymouth last week. In a way I have been putting off doing anything that suggests that it is all at an end. Yes I was glad to be home but over all the trip was a fantastic experience and now it is over I feel somewhat deflated and a little down and at a time when I should be ecstatic at my acheivements! Funny how things are isn’t it…
I have started looking at my life now in a slightly different way. I want to make more out of the skills I have and I feel that I have a renewed enthusiasm to work in a boating business in some way. I suppose it doesn’t mean that I will acheive that aim but I can try. At the moment I am not at all sure in what capacity but I am sure that there is a place for me somewhere.
I had a quick look round the boat when I unloaded last week. It is almost completely unscathed from the trip. There is some rubber marks on the hull near the bow where the yacht hit me in Lowestoft but there doesn’t appear to be any gel damage. I will have a closer look later this week.
The boat is now on its rack at Yacht Haven Quay, Plymouth where it lives. I have an engine service booked for the end of next week and then that will kind of signify the end of the event in my mind. I still have the MBM article to write and I want to review whether I will have the bones of a book bt apart from that I need to get my life back to normality asap I believe.
