Still in Eastbourne.

                                               The view from Blazer across Eastbourne marina.

Saturday 6th October.

The plan, made yesterday, was to leave today for Ramsgate - all set - route in the plotter - 65 miles -
13 hours - a bit windy and rain showers.

Fuelled up - engine checks done - tried to fix no.1 tiller pilot - no good - circuit board damaged - general maintenance - sorted.

I double checked the weather last night - Northerly gusts to 28 mph - that means wind against tide - no thanks - Wednesday was bad enough.

Another night here then - the weather looks better for Sunday and next week.

I walked the three miles into Eastbourne town centre last night - in the drizzle - OK - lots of big hotels.

A cab ride back and early night.

So it might be just two legs back to North Fambridge and with luck we will be there maybe on Tuesday.

Mike.
