Well having owned Kadoona for over a year now it has only been in the last few weeks that I feel like we realy got out on her to go sailing. I could try to pass this poor performance off on any number of factors, I was busy studying for my compass adjusters licence, we were saving, big trip home for 5 weeks, the rigging wasn't completly renewed. Well that are valid excuses but never the less excuses, the truth of the matter was that we spent more time fixing and working that enjoying the boat, that had all changed over the past few weeks then it was time to remove the coachroof windows. What a nightmare. Suffice to say they are now out, and a big blue tarp is draped over Kadoona trying valiantly to keep out the elements which annoyingly have decided to kick up big time ever since removing the feckin windows. I mean realy, dust storms? gales? hailstone? bring on the fire and brimstone why don't you? Getting the windows back in is going to be another story and I'll keep that for another day. For now another chapter opens in the Kadoona story, a website/blog which all going well should be full of exciting tales of Pacific Islands and amazing sailing, well hopefully................
