Today's the start of the Big Adventure!
After 17 months of very hard work, Fandancer is leaving her mooring today and we start the journey we have had planned for several years. We are heading over the Channel to Le Havre, arriving early morning just as the tide turns, so we will be able to head up the Seine to Rouen to arrive before dark. Then we plan to take the masts down before continuing up the Seine to Paris!
We will then be in the french canals for some time, before joining the Med next spring and heading Greek-wards!
So at about 3pm today we'll be passing the Round Tower at the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour, my first Channel crossing ..... next stop France!
