That's much how I felt about it. A huge amount of preparation and worry, and it was interesting, but I've seen rougher water in Glos Docks. The Thames out of Limehouse, mid afternoon last August, with a strong wind and spring tide, was much more rufty-tufty. There were white knuckles on the tiller.

Thought Bristol Floating Harbour was a great place to be, even if somewhat expensive. There are some very nice looking new moorings opposite the SS GB. Martin/ -- Martin Phillips [email protected]
