You have 'Sonar' charts turned on. Turn them off and it will return to 'normal'.

Subject from confirmation of Heritage, the mid June 'springs' are feasible using a two-day plan. Those springs are predicting 4.8m at the Mersea Hammerhead so I think a one-day trip could be tight: e.g. wait to get over the marina cill, pick up the tow, out to the Leavings/South Channel and...

When you said in time for installation in June, what is the time plan?

No wind. A bit of a blow might have changed things! But good fun (the video). It will be interesting seeing him single hand sailing. The inlets don't have a lot of space.

When I bought Tiller Girl in 1991 she still had the original 1" teak deck from 1963. After a couple of years I found that repairing seams was unsuccessful - I found why the original screws were plain steel so in certain areas screws had failed and excessive seam movement meant reseaming was...
