Friday 9 July 2010 Final preparations at Dartmouth

We were able to move onto the town jetty at 08:30 which made last
minute shopping much easier. The berth is interesting as it is not much longer
than Caduceus. Add to this, the only way to get into it is backwards and there
is always a large audience of experts waiting to catch the tripper boats and
ferries. Shopping even included persuading Andrew to update his summer wardrobe
in preparation for his visit to A good WiFi connection allowed Martin to spend a considerable time
on-line with Ed Wildgoose of Mailasail. The result was that we now have fully
functioning email by WiFi and satellite and we missed anywhere smart to eat.
