So the plan so far:

4th, 5th, 6th July - to wash off all the green algae and inspect the work, set up the boat with all our kit and upgrade the chart plotter.

7th July - money should transfer to seller and the boat should be ours.

8th July - relaunch back into the water and back into her berth in Burnham Marina.

10th,11th July - finish preparations in readiness for the journey from Burnham Marina.

12th July - Ty Mor will leave Burnham on Crouch - yikes!! - straight out into the scary Thames Estuary with its shfting sand bars, tidal streams,  large shipping and wind farms.

12th July - hopefully arrive in Ramsgate marina, where we will stay the night.

13th July - 2 shipmates will then jump ship and train it back to the cars in Burnham. Ty Mor with 3 remaining crew will then (wind, weather and tide permitting) hot foot it round the Portsmouth. Long stint - should take about 24 hours.

after that we are not planning, but may call in at Poole, Weymouth, Plymouth,
