We're off!


Left last night at last, in the dark and drizzle, anchored off in the river off Island Harbour and woke up with the loveliest sunshine and perfect breeze. Ian and John have been lacing the mainsail on the gaff whilst I have been scrubbing the mat - somehow spilt some (double) cream on it last night and found a sticky mess this morning. Never mind! It is nearly clean now and the sun dried it all.
I can hear the mainsail being hoisted, better go and get the lunch ready and supper if I can, before we start or I shall be stuck in the galley and be sea sick. Ian wants to go as far as we can. Dover??
