Avoiding the M4

Sunday 9th Sept
1030
Packed Roy's car, Roy moaning at size of my bags.
Picked up Ian and set off for Hamble. M4 east, inconclusive signs saying M4 closed ahead, come off at Bath junction. Find out later that Jim and Trevor delayed exit and were still near M4, as we were going through Salisbury.

1300
Weather light, NW winds, sun and continuing high pressure.
Took over Nemo and sent Roy and Ian grocery shopping.



Formulated PLAN A. Hamble, Yarmouth, Cherbourg, Weymouth, Solent. If plan A goes as badly as PLAN A Brixham, it will reach PLAN X subsection T.
Motored to Solent through yachts going home. What do they know?
Moored up in Yarmouth, fun with berth master re getting boys up at 0330. Put sign on window of boat warning potential rafters that we were serious.

1800
Meal liver and bacon and fish and chips. Boys pissed at 0300 start. Plotted course 180C. Boys started into wine box. Boys on 2nd glass, l see problems!
2130 all go to bed.
Lots of snoring from Vasco da Gammas cabin, kept kicking Roy thinking it was him!Vasco muttering "More sardines Julia, more sardines?"
