Early start mate, 

now what was the crazy zig-zag in the outer harbour about? There’s only two ways to go.

Safe trip. Hope it’s more comfortable than yesterday for you.?

Hey we left Robin on the quay, better go back for him.......... No its OK he's on-board.

Blimey! That is early!

[Vaughan]

Just past Deal, I see. Glad they are going up inside the Goodwins - their predicted track yesterday took them outside, into the westbound separation zone!

[Guest]

Maybe the've kicked Ramsgate into touch and going for it "in one"

Hope they have enough egg & bacon on board.

Grendel mentioned that they said last night they now had plenty of fuel, as they had been going slower than expected, into the weather.

So everyone's sweepstake estimates will now be revised!

Great photos and write ups guys, well done. Safe journey today Indy, Brundall beckons.

[Snowy]

fantastic photos, thank you for sharing them

I did love the video with the constant camera clicking, and wondered if this had happened in daylight a small crowd would have gathered with whispers of

”who’s on board ? Must be some one famous, let’s hang about and see” .

I guess we will lose signal again soon, and probably won’t get it back till near Harwich

Almost past the corner of Kent already ... I think I know the first website that I'll be loading on my browser at work this morning ... it had better not be blocked by group policy!!

Good luck and safe travels Team Indy!

Night Navvibg. Sea state - well I’ve had it better. Had to play around with fuel balancing again- sorted. 

Can’t make owt more than 9kts due to sea state

Safe passage team Indy.

[Lulu]

Im going to have to keep sneaking a look on my phone today at work. 

Great photos and video. The one where Indy is nose down scares me! 

Be safe lads

safe passage Team Indy, Weather report from Kent this morning - Heavy snow- poor visibility from Faversham to the medway Bridge, after that clear, reasonable visibility and Brightening up.

Camera memory card brought to work, so I will see what pictures I have (just didnt have time last night)

That zig zag in the outer harbour? Griff has sailing in his CV, but tries to hide it, there was the evidence.

probably waiting about for permission to exit - that entrance is busy with ferries 24/7, either that or they were pirouetting with the ferries (try watching a ferry track at that point)

we did in fact have a lady come up to us and ask what boat we were looking at - and thought she had heard of it, and would go and check with her husband- there seemed to be an almighty fishing match going on all the way along the coast from Dungeness to Hythe.

[Bedslad]

Safe passage to you team Indy 

[Snowy]

In the unlikely event Team Indy have to change plans and go via Lowestoft 

[quo vadis]

According to AIS Quo Vadis is 10 miles NNE of Independence traveling at 5 knots 198 degrees, news to me

[Snowy]

Indy signal now lost, to be expected
