Quote of day "My seamanship is fine, I'm just lazy"
We crossed the Firth of Thames in 21-29 kts of S to south east to ESE and 2-3m short seas. Have been up for a while as the wind turned to south south east at about 4am which made Hook Cove rather boisterous but the wind generator and new batteries thought it was great.
Yesterday was a lazy day and would have given better conditions but refer to quote above. However the captain found the French propane adapters so Tusi 2 Mike will be happy.
The newly fixed 15 hour is about to go on the dinghy.
At least the conditions wilÅ have knocked off some bottom growth but crew will need to attend to the dyna plate which seems to attract algae.
Thumbs Up are in This anchorage.

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), it's always ourselves we find in the sea.
