All ready for the off. Time to put some miles under that keel.
All ready for the off. Time to put some miles under that keel.
The seals were mewing a goodbye as we finally slipped out of the Solent.
Flat seas, sunshine. This is almost normal service.
Hmmm. This is not normal service.
Ready books while ‘rippling’ along. This is normal service.
Goodbye Solent, goodbye Needles.
Easy miles.
We had protection from a world class carrier.
Sometimes we have to drop the books and actually steer.
This feels like we are in a movie with dangers all around.
Including the danger of falling pine cones!
We are fully self-sufficient. Thumper the water maker is making fresh water out of salt water.
We’re in Dartmouth. Hills and steps are everywhere.
Larry spots his prey, a sweet innocent Llama. Will she still be innocent if Larry catches her?
We’re down there somewhere.
At anchor.
They say the ground in Dartmouth is foul. This shows it’s very foul.
Although work is finished. Work in Excel isn’t.
That ground tackle would keep you grounded.
As always Iain finds the mud and water.
Tip top, lunch spot.
We are finding new friends everywhere.
Iain should be afraid, very afraid.
Larry gets all upset at misinterpreting the ‘Dart Tarts’ adverts.
Ruffian all ready to go once again.
