my trip round GB

[harlekin]

now, preparing the boat next week, I will start in the beginning of may from Cuxhaven to the eastcoast GB, maybe Sunderland, but it depend of the weather.

It is my first trip with a boat to the united kingdom, wiht a lefthand driving car, nearly 30 years ago

I thing, my nautical equipment, chartplotter, Imray Papercharts and Almanach 2011, Radar, AIS, VHF, weather receiver and a small experience with the english language will me take safe to my distination

If you will practise your german, look at my blog.

Last wednesday I used fair winds for the 100 NM trip from Arbroath to Whitehills. South easterly winds near force 6 Bf . I arrived Whitehills 01:30am. With a plotter is it very easy to find the habour in the night.
I have planty of time for 2 days rest before going to Losssiemouth and Inverness.

I have lost the lockblog from the Furlex S 200, part number 539-577. So I need this spare part. If anybody can help me, where I get it, please contact me

thanks
