Strike out of Brighton

27 May 2009 | Brighton
Skip stormy and wet
Well following the crack here is the solution. A tie down on the mast. Before we unstep again it will have to be drilled out and removed.

We've committed to leaving Brighton at end of June. We really are going, we've cancelled our berthing contract. We'll be homeless, or rather moorless!

So we have a great deal of work to do in the next 3 weeks! Finish the wiring, fit the second anchor roller, fit the aft hatch, wire the solar panels, sort out stowage and find time for some shake down sailing!

Well done to Dean on the swine flu! You needed a photo of the face mask!

until next time.
