Its also getting windy here in portsmouth too, my boat is just starting to shudder with the bigger gusts of wind as they pass

Excellent, never been at sea before, those 8-10 mph winds sound ideal! When do we leave?

Just waiting for the sailmaker to drop off the spinnaker after repair then we are all ready to go! Bring some beers though the pubs are shut!

I'd like crew for you. I've sailed once before. Well, actually, it was a radio control yacht at Blackpool funfair, but I know how to operate all the levers and can usually avoid damaging other boats. I get seasick on big ferries but I'm sure I'll be alright on a smaller boat. I have a 2007 AA Atlas of the UK and I am willing to let you use it if you let me crew for you.

We still need a keel. Please let me know where it is. And where the boat is.

 

[A1Sailor]

'Ang on. What boat? There's one at the menders in Kent, one currently offshore near Goodwin Sands and er? Not sure I'd want to bring me own along...

You are all too late! I couldn't wait so I just went on my own anyway and drank all the beer.
