Ooh, can I practice my Bahamanian moor? I can get 2 anchors out.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Only if your prepared to move in the night when everyone else swings on the tide!

Move to the village hall?

Bad tides for us up the Blackwater Maldon way.

And from Crouch.

I'm toying with the idea of coming up overnight on Friday, arriving about 09.00 Saturday.

2) errr anything else I have missed?

Explosives and musical implements.

Not really... We'll just have to see how it develops over the next few days.... We've been blessed for the last few years, so maybe the luck will hold!

we are too. Either midnight friday or 4am saturday...
let me know if you go over night and we'll watch for you. Two Magics arriving together got to be a good omen.

It's a lovely sail up the Wallet overnight

Hmmmm.. I guess we are gonna have to get out of bed a hour or two earlier to get a good spot....

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Doug, we'll head over Friday evening if you want to follow us in?

288mph now. I have shortened my passage plan timing to 38 minutes if I put the kite up, A tad over hull speed, but I am anticipating planing with the kite up for the whole 40 odd miles
