With only a couple of months to go, it’s time to start putting the $ down for the upcoming Moth Worlds in Garda.

It looks like I’ll be flying the boat, door-to-door from Sydney to Circolo vela Torbole, at a cost of about $1300. Is it going to be worth bringing it back to Australia at that price?

Then there’s flights, about $2500. Probably should organise those soon.

Then there’s accomodation and other expenses for the couple of weeks. Another few thousand or more.

Then there’s spares, entry fees, and the extra bits and pieces that come up…

So all in all it’s one expensive proposition. But it is Garda.

I normally wouldn’t flinch, but the thought of doing all the above, and putting down another $15k for the boat is giving my rational other half (but there is only one of me!?) a headache.

And I’ll only have a month or two between the boat’s arrival and the event start to prepare it and myself. Not ideal.

So day by day I tend to fluctuate between being committed and having reservations… again not ideal.

I’d better go and put the money down quickly…
… and should I try to tack on the 18 Europeans in early June? And a visit with the family to Calabria afterwards?
