2005/6 Season
Éowyn is presently ashore in Grenada at St Davids. We plan to return on 24th November to prepare for launch on Monday 28th. If all goes to plan, a new hole in the hull will be plugged by a skin fitting  and seacock ready to take our shiny new watermaker due to be installed by Echotec in Trinidad. We will return to Grenada on 8th December to pick up crew - namely Richard Taylor and Rebecca Hitchcock. A 4 day sail to the BVI will be an invigorating start to the season. The rest of the plan is as follows.
