We will take Berri across to E. CowesSeaport town on the Isle of Wight (UK). A home for international yacht racing. Marina late Thursday or early Friday all going well. Stickers yet to go on and briefing on Saturday.

Dinner tonight with friends at the Dodgy Eater aka La Dolce Vita. NoiceAlexism for quite a lot of things which taste good or are going especially well.

I'll try to do pics tomorrow. Berri so light that I don't even have a camera – just the phone. And we are only taking a foot of dental floss to share and recycle – that should sort any hygeine problems.  And military rations of loo paper. Berri rocks!
