A great sail, we were behind you coming up the Owell. Guapa certainly looked the business.
You must be very pleased.

Hi Will
Glad (most) things went well.
When are you collecting Guapa again?

Good to see nothing dropped off or went bang. Terrific stuff. You have a few miles to catch up on I believe.......

Will be on board Friday PM - departure some time Saturday morning. First proper WE on board.
We'll be over in two cars, so won't be on the scrounge for a lift
Battery charger problem turned out to be a software problem (between my ears). Things tend to work better when you switch them on.

We do
- but we'll be taking things easy for now. Very little free time; and what free time we do have is largely 'booked'. (moving house - again 
)There will, of course, be the compulsory annual pilgrimage to Ostend third week of August, but no other plans.
Maybe a week/10day father-daughter cruise in September before she's off to Uni.

What happens in Ostend then? Other than the obvious drinking of Duval I mean!

Nothing much AFAIK - drinking Duvel is enough of a reason/excuse/pretext
And it will be our first opportunity to check if there's still a world beyond Landguard.

Had the same problem, and I'm supposed to know what I'm doing

Thanks Ian.
Now that the prop and the autopilot have been sorted, ... I can't believe we're done.
Looking forward to taking her out again crack of lunchtime
on Saturday.Not much wind is forecast, so we might do something we haven't done in years - fly the kite. Or try to, if I still remember how.

Could even try one of those RAS (Replenishment At Sea) thingies again.
Got one slab of Jupiler here with your name on it
