We have come a long way. I've been quiet the past few days because we've been working our ARSES off to get Papageno in shape before we leave for England! She's FINALLY in the boat yard, waiting for her masts to begin work AND her interior has been painted. She's really started to evolve! As I look back, I can't believe how far we've come. At how our journeys have spiralled into different directions. But we are all trusting destiny and the Universe to guide us to where we have to go. And so, we will go on. I will go on. Here's to fixing the broken! . . . . . #sailing #svpapageno #earlewrites #sailor #earlewrites #adventure #girlswhosail #shecaptain #boatrestoration #boatrefit Painting Day today! We had a mechanic from the rigging workshop yesterday asking to rent out Papageno for the next couple of months while I'm away in England. It's a comfort knowing that someone will be living on her to keep her safe, but I want to now make Papageno comfortable for someone to live on. This means some coats of fresh paint here and there and writing a French guide to Papageno! I've also only got today and tomorrow left at the marina before I make the decision of heading to the boat yard or going to an anchorage. Pros of the boat yard is that it will be safe and I'll have ease of mind, but at anchorage I have my friends and renter who have said they'll look after her. I'll also be saving myself 375 euros for the boat yard rental. My only stress now is getting someone I trust to take Papageno to and from the rigging pace to get her work done from the anchorage. What if my renter runs out of water? Will he move Papageno? Can he move Papageno? What if he runs out of gas for the kitchen? What if the converter stops working? What if something happens to the dingy? These are the thoughts going round in my head, despite he is a mechanic and a grown man and probably very capable of sorting out all of this himself. Still, I worry. BUT this is my last week and I want to see it as a HOLIDAY. Doing the stuff I love and relaxing. So I'll try and get all of my jobs done as much as possible today so the holiday can begin tomorrow! Maybe... . . . . . . . #sailing #svpapageno #earlewrites #adventure #girlswhotravel #amel #boatrefit #boatrestoration Yay!!! New friends! I got to meet the amazing @knotvikings today and their crazy gorgeous son, Leo. One of the best things about travel, for me, is about meeting people along the way, learning their stories and being able to share yours. It's touching to know that there are other people rooting for the project, and they were so much fun to talk with about Leela and decorating ideas for Papageno! The company and encouragement was much appreciated and welcomed- thank you guys for popping round! ⛵ . . . . . . #sailingcommunity #earlewrites #sailing #svpapageno #Amel #boatrepair #boatrestoration #water #ocean This is called "Clementine Sailor." First in my "Wave Collection" series that I created, this one is probably closest to my heart. Painting has always been a deep comfort to me, although I've only painted once since I've been back. From tomorrow I have just a week left on Papageno where I can start some much needed healing in England. I suppose time alone with just me and my boat was required to realise how much all of this meant. To see how far we've come and to treasure the memories along the way. We are now officially at £6291- £709 away from our target. That's over £6k of stock sold from our shop to reward each and every pledge by you beautiful people. I can't believe it's been 6 months since we first arrived. How so much can change. But we WILL do this and our future will be bright. Because we've all got the Papageno heart. So thank you from the bottom of mine. . . . . . #earlewrites #sailor #sailing #amel #boatrefit #boatrestoration #adventure #shecaptain #escape #girlswhotravel #watercolour #artstagram #artistsofinstagram #sailboat #painting #oceanpainting It's all work on Papageno today! The dingy needs emptying of the incessant rain from the past couple of days, there's painting to be done and a deep CLEAN! We have 9 days left on Papageno to shut her down for Christmas, where hopefully a mechanic will be living on her to keep an eye on her until I return. I managed to bag myself 4 more days at the marina before I have to head off to the boat yard, and the rig has been delayed by the company until the end of the month- which works out for me well, because it gives the "Save Papageno" campaign more time. And then after the work, Leela and I will relax with a book and a nice cold drink! What are your plans for the day? . . . . . . #svpapageno #sailing #earlewrites #sailor #yachtlife #amel #girlswhosail #adventure #shecaptain Welcome to my Zen Palace! Laura calls it my "Pit" but sometimes there's nowhere else I'd like to be on Papageno. This is my space to hide and find space for ME. On this journey I've found it's so important to take time out for yourself, to breathe, repair and be kind to yourself. It's so easy to be your own worst critic, to be your own worst friend. I don't want to be a part of that anymore. I want to go forwards with thinking of only kindness and a balance for myself. To do the things that will help me heal and move forwards. And if that means lying in "The Pit" for two hours reading a book, then that's great! In a world that is often non stop, it's so easy to neglect our spirits. I'm not doing that anymore. I won't do it anymore. Here's to moving forwards! P.S- We're almost at our target on Crowdfunder to Save Papageno!
