I can confirm she's there on her berth in Shotley! Great looking boat - proper go-anywhere vessel.

Excellent!
Look forward to seeing you out and about on the East Coast.
May even pop by for a look next time I'm wandering around Shotley Marina.

Congratulations from us! Glad you had fun. I must cycle over and see Phoenix sometime you're there, as long as she stays tied to a pontoon!

Is that going to be your permanent berth Neil? looks a bit too big to go next to Harvest moon.

Yep, we're staying where we are now.... with a long keel I wasn't keen on staying in the previous berth.... might have not been so good for you either!

Impressive passge time from Portsmouth!
Powerful looking boat, but perhaps not best suited to short tacking up the Deben.
I assume that the longer term plan involves melting butter?? When are you off?

Neil,
I bet your really pleased to get her back home. Just outrun the weather!
The delivery skipper phoned me on Friday to say that he was setting off on Saturday to sail Solene to her new owner Bjorn, in Sweden by the direct route.
I was very pleased when I popped in to the marina on Sunday to buy some polish for my new boat Whirl'n Dervish, to see Solene still safely tied up there. I think he must of taken a sensible pill on Saturday.
Whirl'n Dervish is Squib 812 which I hope will keep me amused.
Chris.
