Outward Bound

I'm soon to be Outward Bound. I'll shortly be going up against the wall here in Saltash where I will make checks to the underwater parts of the hull, make a final repair on the Stern-Gland and begin/end the replacement of the running rigging. I also have a list of other jobs, some of which will be completed or can be started and then completed as I go. I'm aiming to be against the wall on the next Spring Tide on the 15th April, the plan is to have completed what I need to get done by the last week of April and be looking for a weather window by the end of the month.

Once I identify a decent weather window I'll begin to make way towards Falmouth, no real timescales involved and we'll see where and when I get to places. Again I'll be looking for a weather window to sail over to Southern Ireland asap.

I have just purchased the Cruising Guide to Southern & Western Ireland, produced by the Irish Cruising Club. My plan is to just Explore…
