We asked Elaine at Total Sailing where she got hers from and she got one for us.

Elaine also runs SWMBO sailing courses for ladies only. I now have a piece of paper that entitles me to sail a boat.

Killing time before the short drive to Zeebrugge, and then the loooong overnight to Rosyth - saves the drive from Hull though.

Aquaplane - sorry we've completely hi jacked your serious question. My passage plan for that would be to follow the Liverpool - Belfast Ferry then the Belfast - Troon one - a` la Rodney, Del Boy, and Uncle Albert.
