Hi Dylan
You are very welcome for the small chip in, I noticed your comment about liking pictures of boats in your inbox, so here is ours.
We recently bought her to replace a Vivacity 650, after thinking and planning our trip around the UK coast we decided we would be much happier and more comfortable on a Centaur, mainly down to watching your experiences, thanks for that mate.
She is in Lowestoft at present, we did so e work last weekend, at 1 degree it was painful so we cut out a bit early and hotfooted back to Hull. We shall be sailing her up to Hull next month to prep for the big voyage in late May and the favourable winds (we hope). Plan to overnight in Wells next to the Sea, which I revisited your experiences of recently!
Good luck with your latest campaign, hope to see you out there with a good heater soon mate.
Kindest regards
Glenn
Harmony is in lowestoft at the moment
ashore - I sold her to a bloke called Jon who came up the north sea with me
I cannot bare to go see her
hard dodger eh!

and
what engine do you have in the boat?
how many people doing the trip - how much time do you have
will you take a dinghy
D
They are 2 very different boats …??
Good on you guys! I hope you find a way to post at least some photos on a site somewhere . There are plenty of friends here that would enjoy following your progress. You might even find a few new friends around the coast.
Did you see the film Dylan did on a guy he meet in Wisbech I think who was on a much smaller boat who was planning to sail to the south of France and make money grape picking…… I wonder if he made it? He was you age and from your part of the world.
Sorry I just watched the film but can’t find it among the 537 films Dylan has posted!
Cheers Warren
There you go. you have founded A Movement, …or maybe a cult.
“Hoist the M.O.B. Burgee, yo ho ho!”
Thanks for the positive comments guys ??
We shall be setting out in late May and by then I will have started a modest blog, so you can see our progress

I’m up for it!!! Somebody design a M.O.B. burgee or pennant or tee shirt, or all of the above. Proceeds to KTL. I’ll buy several. Come on…who has experience at this and will do it?
Do you think you will be calling into Scarborough? And if so when.
Chris we may do around 21/22 May, Scarborough or perhaps Whitby.
Hi Glenn,
Don’t be stopping overnight at ‘Paddys Hole’ in Teesmouth on the leg after Whitby, go up river to moor t’other side of the Tees Barrage or quite simply moor at Hartlepool Marina
Thanks for the heads up Bryan, we will certainly do that mate ?
