looks like they are heading outside those.

[Snowy]

How strict are they with their destinations ?

i mean if they made good time would or could they carry on to a marina further along the coast 

or are they booked in at say Brighton ?

[SteveO]

I think that is where they are building the Rampion windfarm.

[BroadAmbition]

Correct, losing phone signal somewhat. 7 miles off the coast

[Siddy]

Could this turn out to be a Jolly Boys outing @ Brighton Pier tonight (which one will be rodders?)

[BroadAmbition]

Not booked at Brighton, but Ramsgate know we are coming 

Griff

[Hylander]

Good idea to plough on.   Hope everyone is well.

[BuffaloBill]

There is a live webcam looking over the centre of the marina. 

Looks like an ETA of 16.45ish?

Edited to add that the Pier camera might not see Indy (in the distance) due to the failing light.

[grendel]

they are only about 5.5 - 6 miles out of Brighton at the moment - headed in, should make it before it gets dark

 

[Hylander]

Ramsgate is a darn sight further than Brighton.   Wont do that in the light.

[grendel]

no, they will moor up and carry on in the morning, Weymouth to Brighton was the long leg, so they may have had plans b, c and d for ports nearer weymouth

just approaching the harbour arm at Brighton Marina

[grendel]

just in the harbour now

 

[Snowy]

They are in 

[Islander]

Just catching up on the voyage having spent a wonderful afternoon getting the pumpout pump to work again.

I did think they may try for Newhaven and gain a few more miles but always best to stick to plan A if all is going to plan.

Light is fading 

think Sheila had a bad time for part of the trip, so probably can’t wait to walk on terraferma !

Congratulations on reaching Brighton Team Indy, I have the grandchildren visiting tomorrow, You will have an additional 4 more followers before the day is out 

[Islander]

Well done team Indy. Hope to follow you more closely tomorrow. Had hoped to wave you in at Gt Yarmouth on Monday but now have to wait in for deliveries on both Monday and Tuesday . Hopefully a few others will be able to wave from the harbour mouth.

All the very best wishes, hope Sheila is feeling a lot better. I don't think a fish and chip supper will cut it tonight.

Well done Robin and team Indy, I hope Sheila soon gets her sea legs, if not maybe she could get one of those travel sickness bands. Robin you looked very worried I hope things look better now. Rest up tonight ready for tomorrows adventure.

[Broads01]

Well done team again. I'm very prone to sea sickness and I've suffered on cross-channel ferries in the past. Nowadays I swear by Kalms tablets, they've worked wonders and I don't ever feel nauseous with them.
