Sunday 1st May left Bradwell on Sea at 10 am and fought the tide out through the Spiteay and South West Sunk through Fisherman\u2019s Gat and on to North Foreland staying at Ramsgate.
\nA quick dinner in Wetherspoons and bed ready for an early start, unfortunately the boat full of Belgians on the on the other side of the pontoon returned at a 11 pm with a number of partying Ramsgate girls , this carried on until 2.30 am when a neighbour poked his head out the fore hatch and asked them to leave halfway through a rendition of sweet Caroline, they eventually left about 3 am and we had a couple of hours kip and left.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tucked up in Eastbourne for the night<\/p><\/div>\n


\nAt 6am for Eastbourne, a second day with nil wind saw 9 hrs of motoring.
\nArriving at Eastbourne a quick trip to Wilko to get a spanner as the stern gland had decided to leak rather than drip, a quarter turn sorted it for the long treck to Hythe on Tuesday,
\nTuesday 71 miles on the engine in eleven and a half hours with the tides in our favour at Beachy Head and the Looe channel
\nBrighton Wind farm took so long to pass that Wolfie went to sleep.
