Ready to move on

The replacement Garmin has just been fitted so we are hoping to leave towards Ramsgate in the morning when the tide is right, around 06.00 tomorrow morning.

We need to shop for some up-wind food. Pies, soup etc. which is easy to heat up, as the weather is still pretty grotty and fairly cold here today.

Of course the Garmin agent at first said fitting of the replacement unit would be covered by Garmin, as it was a software fault. Now though, it seems that since we bought it from Force 4, and had our own electrician fit it, who are not actually Garmin registered dealers, we shall have to pay for the installation. Sometimes one gets the feeling big companies are very good at hiding behind the small print. Certainly we wern't told by Force 4 that we needed a Garmin dealer to fit the unit. They said you simply plug it in. As always, we live and learn.

Otherwise, all well and looking forward to getting moving again. Even managing to watch a bit of the Olympics on BBC iplayer.
