Still at home
We have finally heard that Sequel, aboard the Atlantic, is now due in Rotterdam on Tuesday 11 August. We will leave next Monday, via the Channel Tunnel, and drive to Maasbracht in the Netherlands. We will leave the car at the Linssen Yachts yard and catch a train to Rotterdam on Tuesday 11th to collect Sequel when she is unloaded from the ship.

| Atlantic at Port de Nice, France - 28 July 2015 |
Great shot of the Atlantic (courtesy of Starclass Yacht Transport copies from their Facebook page) loaded with many different boats, leaving Nice for Gibraltar and today it is about to arrive in Killybegs, Donegal, west coast of Ireland. Before arriving in Rotterdam the Atlantic will go to Roervik (Norway?!) and Cherbourg. We, too, are completely puzzled by the route the ship is taking but I am delighted it isn't going to arrive in Rotterdam until 11th as I want to visit Solihull to celebrate Henry's 2nd birthday on Thursday and Bristol at the weekend to visit Matt and Heather and, weather permitting, to see the Balloon Festival.
Once we have collected Sequel we will travel up the river Maas to Maasbracht and to the Linssen yard where we are hoping she will be sold by Linssen. Before that we have to pack up all our belongings too numerous to mention and get them back to the UK.
See what you mean about getting off Sequel onto the Atlantic, rather you than me!!
