Circumstances got in the way of updating the blog over the last few days so here's a potted catch-up
Our cousin Maire joined ship on Friday evening and a catching up session ensued which went on well into the early hours of Saturday morning!Saturday was spent recovering (!) and preparing for the third Fambridge River Festival the following day
Glen arrived on Saturday on the final leg of his South Coast tour in his new camper and a second catching up session ensued into the early hours of Sunday morning!!
Pagan was dressed overall ready for the show which got off to a great start.
Unfortunately, a family crisis developed which necessitated us all decamping half way through the show and dashing back to Kettering. This kept us in Kettering all day yesterday too.
Happily all's well that ends well and first thing this morning Jane and I were back on the road to Essex. Meanwhile, the marina lads had moved Pagan onto the river pontoon for us so we didn't risk being neaped in our berth and unable to go anywhere
Today has been all hands to the pumps to get ready to go sailing tomorrow. The new autohelm installation has been finished (a bit Heath Robinson in places but it will serve for now - I'll try and get some pics posted in the next couple of daysPagan is now all ready to go (we hope!) and we'll be heading off about 06:00 towards Harwich
