In the past, some boats have pulled into Yarmouth for a 'quiet evening' to wind down, then home on Monday. Tome tended to be the ringleader of this, but last year stayed in Cherboug, prior to his epic and final journey home.
We are finalising our time off work and passage plan for Fiddler's Dream, and would like to know if any other boats are thinking of stopping somewhere on Sunday. This could be anywhere from Poole, to Bembridge or even Alderney.
Any takers?

I'm thinking of spending a few hours anchored in the shipping lanes on Sunday niht to test my theory all merchantmen abide by the rules. Naturally I'll have a ball hoisted in the rigging.
Cheers, Brian.

Nick, We're currently allocating Thursday to Monday in the hope of getting some small boat weather sometime in that period. All being well we'll try to get to Yarmouth on the Sunday night.
