Things Starting To Move Again

Well after many mails backwards and forwards we are starting make progress again. The shipping company has been confirmed as Peters and May who are pretty much known as being the yacht transport specialists, although this does come with a very hefty price tag. At least they didn't increase the price due to the high oil price - makes me wonder what their original margins were though!

It seems to still be open to debate as to whether we'll be supplied the generator through the local Panda agent or whether it will be supplied by Elan. I don't really mind as it will be the same unit basically it comes down to price and availability.

The electronics will be Raymarine as the boat has been designed around them although Simrad tried to help us out the pricing wasn't significantly enough different to justify moving away from the system that is specified.

Just heard that our main anchor has been delayed and won't be here until Mid-October which will be cutting it very fine but at least we have already taken delivery of the back-up so we'll survive.

We're really looking forward to the trip and also to the flashing lights when we have a police escort through Singapore deliverying the boat to Raffles Marina for outfitting.
