Looking for Eucalyptus

March 20, 2019 | By Jillienne de Vos

It was a beautiful day so we headed down to Les Minimes port. We had seen other FP’s near the Captainerie and because it wasn’t at Uchimata’s pontoon, this was the only place it could be. Uchimata is the after factory fit-out person, he is French and his name is Pierre. His business is named after a martial arts move. I have just googled it to save you time; it is one of the original 40 judo moves. Uchimata will be adding all the items we thought were essential 12 months ago and not adding the ones that could quite possibly be important! ( only we don’t know what they might be)

All these boats fascinate me and I am quite excited and terrified to think that we will be on our very own one soon. So we found our boat and had a little look!

It will get more exciting, promise!
