Have you got AIS so we can watch your progress?

Not on my Raymarine gear. Not sure if there is an app I can use on the I Phone?

Sure is, works well too. Marinetraffic I think

Thanks Howard. Will have a look for it.

To appear on Marinetraffic you need to be transmitting your Nav data out on the AIS system, so you would need a transceiver.
The App is passive so it won't show your position based on your iPhone using it.

Earlier today the Met Office surface pressure chart showed a ridge of high pressure over your route on Wednesday. I can't see that chart now, only showing up to Tuesday.

Yes, the current plan is Portishead to Padstow on Tuesday, then round the tip on Wednesday, and see where we go from there.

Upton seems a long time ago now. How are things up there?

The Marina goes from strength to strength. A good feeling and very good music. Just wish I could still afford to moor there !

We used to moor in the Severn Pool at Tewkesbury. Really quiet and relaxing spot. Nice people, and a bit cheaper than Upton iirc.

Many thanks. Waiting on the alternator at the moment.

Paul - good luck with the trip matey. If I'd known sooner I would have loved to have crewed for you as we will be taking a similar passage at some point, it would have been good experience. Good luck with the alternator.

Thanks Dave. Still waiting on the alternator. Hoping to get it tomorrow morning, then we can get going if fixed before 12.00 or wait till Thursday.
This forum is fantastic. John on Spare Thyme is sending an alternator down from Scotland, so this is plan B, as I'm unlikely to see if for a couple of days. Good to have the spare though��

A lot on at the moment, but if you find yourself in the Dart or Torquay/Brixham I'll make time for a beer and hello! :encouragement:

This is becoming another PeteM boat buying-type thread. Still no alternator, although John from Spare Thyme has sent me one of his. I should see it tomorrow. What a wonderful resource this forum is, full of fantastic folk! Anyway, the weather window has closed, so going back home tonight. Will be juggling work with weather windows for the next couple of weeks ��
