Well the electricians turned up to fit the AIS and new batteries. Unfortunately the batteries didn't turn up. We are promised they will be there tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed.

Looking at the weather forecast, I am thinking of bringing departure time forward by 12 hours, as strong winds are forecast from mid day Monday. So present plan is to leave 18.00 Sunday 15th and sail overnight to Dartmouth. Should I tell Gail? She was probably planning to teach swimming Sunday night.

Of course, we've yet to load the boat, as the electricians have it in bits today. Three days is plenty of time.........after eighteen months carefull planning!
