SEASON PREP

Another year ... another possible, and certainly belated, adventure. This April we moved house, from SE London all the way to Plymouth; yes, during the lockdown - yes, legally. Now we have this view, and from June onwards many, many boats have been plying these waters. Imagine our frustration, because SIRENA IV is safely tucked away in a shed in N Germany.

So now we judge that August is the least worse time to make a dash for it, and go and get her bottom wet. On 5 August we're travelling light on many trains - assuming COVID-19 'no travel' advice is not extended to Germany - so here's our packing prep. If you're wondering about the IKEA bag, it contains charts - the only way to carry them.

We are not saying (here, in print) what our intentions are because the last two seasons the plans have had to change radically due to incidents. We will get her launched ... and then we'll let you know.
