May I congratulate you on both journeys, logs and a successful return home Geoff 
The whole thing was a pleasure to read about, and I look forward to meeting you again somewhere!
Kind regards, John, Claire and Simba!

Arrived back in Poole today. All safe and sound, boat out of the water and is going to need a damn good clean up 
Well done Geoff, glad to hear you are safely back. Great to meet you and really appreciate the effort you put in to getting to the Rally.

Especially as your home isn't that far away. If you like you can pop over and take us all to dinner at the Beetle & Wedge some time.

Yes, I also enjoyed tracking his progress. That'll definately be something I'll aspire to in due course. Well done Geoff.

Thanks all, all a bit mundane being home 
I must say I was impressed how the D4 performed, I can say that now I'm home, it was tempting fate before. 45hrs at not much more than tickover on the river. Out into the estuary, opened up, not a whisp of smoke. And did about 10 mpg at river speed.
Got a serviced booked next week, I reckon it deserves it after 704nm, gawd knows what that is in Km.

Oh I don't know, what with the flow rate we've had this last week some boats were doing that standing still!
