Don’t you just love Monday morning!! I’ve been up since before six as I always enjoy that quiet hour or two, give you chance to get the day in order and sort out what you need to be doing.

Have a busy week ahead as I have to source some bits for the boat to avoid any delays there and also have to start getting the equipment ordered so I have plenty of time to get the best prices and ensure delivery before the boat is shipped.

I have recently spoken with Kees who is sorting out the food and nutrition I will need for the journey. I tasted all the meals and then send a report of what I liked and disliked, he then forwarded it to his ‘Chef du Cuisine’ !! Kees told me that they are having a great year and their Pack’n'Go products are doing really well. Kees is also celebrating the birth of his son so many congratulations there. Its very reassuring for me to know I have Kees sorting out the food for the project, its better to leave it in the hands of the professionals and its one less thing I have to think about as I know its in good hands.

Also need to get the team page up on the web site, some of the people helping me must be camera shy so it looks like I will have to go and snap them myself!

 Along with the row project I also have to spent some time marketing my book that is due to be launched 27th September 07 which is only weeks away! I will make it available on the site for anybody that wants a copy.

Lots to be getting on with anyway and on top of all that I have to fit work in so I can pay the mortgage!! Keep you all updated. Cheers Dave
