We are at the “help there is not enough time” stage in our  preparations. I leave work in 2 weeks and we hope to be in London for Hattie’s birthday by the 3^rd August. There are endless things still to do both onshore and aboard. Today I have fitted some extra fiddles to the various shelves and a chart press to store all the paper charts that I have acquired. This diary entry is my first attempt so I will see how it works!  Chris
