I would suggest and engine service first and then ensure you take spare filters, impellors, fan belts, oil, and large tool kit.
The comments about the sludge in the tanks are very valid, my Crown had been on the non tidal Thames for 16 yrs when I bought her. Took her down to Brighton, and mid tidal Thames, had the sludge in filters problem.
As you have a hand held gps, if your have an inverter on board and a laptop, may I suggest some chart plotter software, much better than ickle tiny handheld.

I have used a software package (T******* N********) and it has served me well

Re: Maxum 3000 SCR?

I will be taking a broom 38 from Brundell to Thames in about 4/ 5 weeks time. If this is of any use, quite happy to go in convoy

what speed do you think you can cruise at?
