Several friends and family came to see us off. This was a very happy day for Eleanor after seven years of trials and tribulations whilst poor Avanti sat on the mud. It was a beautiful sunny but icy cold day as we motorsailed all the way to Yarmouth! But at least it is a first step on a long voyage. The skipper noted that the crew, Mike, Davy and Bill, promptly made for the pub to celebrate. “50:42.37N 1:30.12W”
