51:19.67N 1:25.21E.  Early 05.30 departure from Eastbourne and a lively sail to Ramsgate, about 62 miles.  Strong winds forecast for Tuesday afternoon, so will stay here two nights and hopefully set off for Ijmuiden in the Netherlands on Wednesday morning.  This will be a long 144 mile passage that will take around 24 hours.  Final top up of Calor gas, so now in gas saving mode, as our four bottles need to last three months.
