Shopping!

Just had an amazing day at the Southampton Boat Show and managed to dodge the showers. It was a fun and pretty expensive day but we got some really good stuff!

- 4 Crewsaver ErgoFit 290N Lifejackets - two with automatic AIS beacons for Andrew and I - Crewsaver through in a bag and a knife for each.
- 2 pairs of leather Dubarry Boots (we only sail in bare feet in Australia so this was a bit strange)
- Hot Orange Musto HPX suit for Carolyn - we got a good deal as apparently the orange is being discontinued but I love it.
- Yellow Henri Lloyd Ocean suit for Andrew - who wouldn't conform to team colours (nothing new).
- A gadget hose that shrivels up - no idea if it's any good but we liked the idea.
- Ocean Cruising Club Flag - we love the OCC so will be proud to fly the flying fish on Askari

We also spent some time with many suppliers and learned lots about the equipment we have spec'd.

Andrew always loves to spend lots of time at the Raymarine stand - today was no exception and as a result we have further upgraded our chart plotters.
