The end of an era

With just a couple of days left until we hand Thomas over to her new owners we have now moved most of our belongings out and are trying not to think about it too much. A mourning period will begin after the weekend.

Please Help Keira

Please, please help Jason and Sally help their little girl.  Every time someone looks at the website, www.keiraswish.org, a contribution is made by sponsors to the fund to help Keira, but if you can make a donation too, that'd be even better. 
 
I promise that this is genuine, I've met Jason and he's a good mate of one of my best friends.
Thanks, Karen.
 
P.S. pass it on!

New flooring for the kitchen


Simon's put a new floor in the kitchen.  He's a good man!

The Marina is frozen over, again.

Simon took these shots today so I thought I'd post them.  The water's been frozen for a while, but it's getting thicker and getting a good layer of snow on it now.  Pretty though.

RIP Mike

We have only just heard and are very sad that Mike Gough was found dead in Faversham Creek just a week after we left dry dock.  By all accounts, Mike seems to have died from a fall from the dock in the early hours of the morning.  

When we arrived at Faversham in September, Mike was the first person to greet us as we moored up next to Henry, the Thames Sailing Barge on which he lived.  Mike was very welcoming and we will always remember him with fondness.  He was only 55 and it's a terrible waste.

Rest in peace Mike.  You were kind and eccentric and memorable.
