          Great news. Will the boat play any part in the 20th anniversary weekend? Show off the new skills

              No, got far too much else to do that weekend….

                      Sounds like she is shaping up to become the real skipper  😉 Saw that determination in her eyes on the night run –-Go Paula !

                        @Madame Buttonfly and I took the boat out, for the first time on our own, today.

                        We motored to the fuel jetty, moored up and filled her with fuel, motored 10 miles east, anchored up, had lunch and returned home.

                        No Gelcoat lost…...

                        We'll take that....

                            Thanks all for your good wishes - last week was pretty tough, especially the night passage, it was way past my bedtime and I struggled!  😃

                            Going out on our own for the first time on Saturday was amazing, and I successfully "parked" Pilgrim on our return  😉

                                          Working from Pilgrim this afternoon, power courtesy of the invertor.  The addition of a 5G router (hidden in the head-lining), has made a world of difference…..
