Kaloo! Kalay! He Chortled in his Joy!

Tom has phoned to say the GIRI is in tact. The boat is much as I left it. No major repairs. No theft. Sun damage to ropes and fabric and possibly a rat came and went. The boat will float and the sails will capture air and the anchor will hold and the engine run. I'm delighted. So looking forward to disentangling myself from the office which threatens to strangle me for leaving. Whether a doctor leaves for a week or a month there's twice as much work to be done before and after. Such is the punishment faced that some just opt to stay rather than take time off at such a high cost in so many different ways. Not sailors though. The call of the sea and wind makes all the effort worth it. In a few days I'll be flying out to join him. Anticipation!!!
