I wake up early to start working on the boat. I decided to take two days to work on the boat and the first challenge is to get a sail maker to give some the lazybag (the bag where the main sail rests) some TLC. After a brief confusion since he moved his workshop – I get him to promise the work to be done by Tuesday afternoon. My plan is now to rent a car, do a road trip through Brittany, and pick up the family on Saturday so this feels good. I walk through the bullets and focus on the exterior work, as it should start to rain. Working on the boat is like meditation as it gives you a lot of time to think about yourself and the people you care for, the purpose of your life and how to behave. In addition, as a bonus, the teak details shine and the salt water is gone.

The evening is a slow continuation that is devoted to planning of the next weeks. I just love the different options and knowing that there will be no boring days ahead.
