So today is a big day.... after much messing around with the engines, FINALLY the boat left the dock today. It was a case of make or break really - if I didn't finally start using it, it was going on Ebay, so after a bright & early start and trip down to the coast, we ran up both engines, plowed our way through the mud and made a break for Chichester Harbour.
Granted, we were only off to Sparkes Marina to fuel up so further sea trials could be run and the diesel heater plumbed in, but a maiden voyage is a maiden voyage, and after three years (almost to the day), it was great to finally get going.
Next on the list - sea trials - sailing....
