Ready to leave Gosport (Patreon)

Hi guys 

It's been a mad dash towards the finishing line, but we're ready to leave Gosport. We're leaving tomorrow heading to Southampton (a three-hour trip) for a couple of days to see our friends aboard Cadoha. Then it's off to France. The weather next week looks good for crossing back over the English channel :) The plan is still to head to Irland in about a month or so. 

The electric outboard is pretty cool so far. I'm very interested to see how it stands up to the abuse of full-time cruising and if the range on a single charge is going to be an issue. Do any of you guys have experience with either the ePropulsion or Torqedeo? :)

The new sails are looking very spiffy. It looks like we'll be going downwind for most of our trip to Portsmouth with around 9 knots gusting to 15. It should be fun :) We don't have much time for dilly-dallying I'd like to be in Southampton around 13:00 because of the tide. 

I need to finish one tiny modification to the solar arch before it gets too late. I mounted the wifi antenna, but the way it's mounted get's in the way of the starboard panel sliding all the way in. I better do that before it gets too late :) 

I hope you've had a fantastic weekend :) Thank you so much for your support! Stay safe :)
