I made it in the papers (see www.aboatformypotplants.blogspot.com), and more radio madness will surely follow. But I mustn't forget the true raison d'etre of my boat and its potplants.

And that is to use the boat as a boat, all joking aside. Inspired by Deano's recent story and pictures on this site, the next challenge for me is to sail to Brightlingsea for an onboard sleepover, and return the following day.

It might sound simple enough for experienced boat-people, but for me it'll be the scariest thing I've ever attempted.

Don't think Neil needs a VHF, he has a whole radio station

Pick low winds and take a vhf and you will be fine, any wind other than southerly should be fairly good, call in to the harbour on ch68 and they will direct you to a pontoon space, water taxi is £1 each way and runs till 11.00pm and is on vhf ch M1, see Tony in colne YC for beer and food.
You will love it.
