just a shame boat is still in the workshop at tollesbury and the mast is without all its stringy bits a wiry things ..........

Bless you sir; how kind.

There will be a free supplement very shortly - well soon - well depends. You see last Wednesday, I had finished it. A new set of tables to add Princes Channel to routes to the Medway and Essex Rivers, the latter especially as the Sunk Sand is losing all of its marks. But last Wednesday, I had just finished the last of the checking and 'plit', the comfuter went down. Diagnosis is that the hard disc has died and I am waiting to get it back from the doctor's with a new hard disc and what can be retrieved. Will it be there or will it have gone? Before anyone asks, I had saved it in various forms but I wandered away to have a beer in the garden and when I got back the grim reaper had reaped. No it wasn't backed up.

Nigel I promise you the tables are easy to use. Can always give you a lesson! Don't forget to download the update which deals with a bungle in the final proof reading!

I have to commend the book, our first trip across the Estuary this year, and it was so useful. Especially when we were stuck in Chatham due to persistent F6+ NE for several days. It was easy once having worked out the passage plan to just change the departure times to suit the new - hoped for - date of departure.

I look forward to the revised version.
