Just heard from Inspiration Marine that the boat has arrived in Slovenia after a road journey from the Baltic coast. Commissioning will begin sometime soon and coppercoating when the weather gets a bit warmer (only 14 degrees today) with a good forecast as four days of fine weather is required for this job. 

Takes forever. So many small and time-consuming things to do to get everything ready for the big day. Big long lists and lots of detail. As we are picking the boat up in Slovenia, there's no option of popping back home to pick up forgotten items so we need to try and remember everything we need to keep us going. Our plan is to have some stuff shipped out to Slovenia on a pallet and we will drive out there with another mountain of stuff. Will there be enough storage space or will we lose the second cabin to piles of unnecessary gear? Luckily the car is not that big so that slows us down a bit. I hope.
