It's lovely to watch one of these type threads live, I remember reading the 'B.A' to the Thames one(elsewhere of course) years after it all happened and wishing I had been able to follow it as it unfolded......

Hope it's a pleasant and straightforward journey, have fun folks!

Just keep that speed down boys! 

Use more than 1000L and the sea moster will come and find you.

Yes now there on the move I've added to my fleet. Just click on the icon and the option is there.

 

See how long I can track before the bank lock Web page out lol

What icon and I will.

[FairTmiddlin]

third icon down LH side (three ships)

[FairTmiddlin]

Now starting to lose broadband signal, as they are heading out into the bay, so possibly no updates for about 2 hours.

I logged in and have kept the page up in the background, I have had several reports from my computer telling me about blocked web page, but have ignored them

[vanessan]

What time are they due to arrive in Weymouth please? Rough idea of course. 

[FairTmiddlin]

Projected time on Marine traffic gives it at 15:00

 

[grendel]

4 1/2 hours in and I guess they are about half way there now, obviously doing well so far (and for the first day)

Put your foot down a bit, you need to use more fuel for my guess in the sweepstake !!
