Jolly heck Neil steady on.
If you don't go careful you will have no excuse for not going for a sail

p.s. let us know when it is due to happen so we can be there to see her in all her glory.

West Mersea this afternoon, lots of spare moorings

Our first sail of 2012 and so far 2013

Managed a first trip with sails on Orcana on Jan 2nd before the rain got us.
Locked in after dark and found our new berth in the Haven.
All in all very rewarding having taken the decision to have lunch on a mooring off Levington.
A shame we missed the best day New Yrs Day but the battens and mast gate provided some distractions.
At least the first 10 miles are logged for 2013!
