At a fairly steady 45mph down the A12, occasionally pulling over to let the impatient hordes past, it took about 4 hours and the car managed about 15 miles to the gallon (it normally does only 22 - so that's not as bad as it sounds).

Fambridge is a beautiful marina with grassy banks and friendly staff, if Paul, who was on duty there on Sunday afternoon, is anything to judge by.

I snugged Smooty down to chat to a Prout for a couple of days until I get back to tackle her mildew problem.

Hi there,
I noticed you edited the Wikipedia page about the Halcyon 23. I first created it, and it's nice to see that there still are more Halcyons around after all those years! Last spring, I bought a Halcyon 23 myself. I'm sailing with it on the IJsselmeer in the Netherlands. It's a nice ship with great sailing performance! Even though it's kinda small if you're used to your old man's ship, like I am. ;)
If you'd like to see some pics, check out my Flickr account.
Well, I wish you good luck with working on it and ofcourse a lot of fun sailing it!
Cheers, Martijn
