May. 28, 2007 - Everything is Set

The winds are dying down and everything is on for tomorrow night's departure. Have spoken by 'phone to all the crew tonight and we meet up in Ipswich tomorrow at 6.00pm. After an evening meal and briefing we aim to leave Ipswich around 9.00pm

The question now is whether there will be enough wind! At one point this afternoon XCWeather.co.uk were forecasting 4 knot winds on the Wednesday morning! That has improved slightly to 7 knots!

Wendy will drive me up to Ipswich in the morning, stopping off at Tescos to stock up. Then it will be fuel and water up the boat and generally potter about getting everything ready for the crew arriving at 6.00pm.

The next post will probably Thursday night when back home unless I can get some free WiFi in Vlissingen. On the other hand I'll probably have better things to do - Trev is bringing a few bottles of Mithos!
