Long day for Indy, few pints are well deserved, well done all and thanks for the entertainment

Plenty of good pubs in Weymouth, several restaurants around that area too. Have a good evening lads.

Dartmoor jail ale, sounds just right for that crew.

Spent some time at HMS Osprey Portland, The Black Dog was always a favourite in Weymouth.

God job chaps, some well deserved R&R. but not too much

[Lulu]

Well done Team Indy!  What an amazing day you have obviously had. Ive been very distracted at work as I had to keep checking in to see the progess. That big wave photo scares me lol 

[JennyMorgan]

Not setting auto pilot and going through the night then? 

[Bexs]

Fantastic! Welcome to Dorset!

I was hoping you would choose to come into Poole rather than Weymouth, so I could welcome you in person, and thank you for years of entertainment and for providing my broads 'Fix' the 11 months of the year I'm not there. 

[BroadAmbition]

I was born in Poole myself Bexs although I haven't lived there for over 20 years. I know Weymouth a little bit. 

Well done crew. Plymouth to Weymouth in a day is a fair trek I feel. This thread has been very entertaining, thanks for keeping us up to date Griff and all who've done the sea charts thing.

Has this broken the forum record for the most posts on a single thread in a single day?

Dorset and Poole are perfect, apart from them being a 4 hour drive from the Broads!!!

Yes  second that,  well done to all the crew, and good luck for tomorrow’s adventure.

[grendel]

I know what I will be doing tomorrow.

[BroadAmbition]

In Wetherspoons at present. Cheap but cheerful, (some nice eye candy too) early start tomorrow, in here for B’fast st 0700 sharp. Might go early back onboard this evening and sort out those issues. 

Diesel today - was more than 200 Ltrs but Less than 1000 Ltrs 

Our Crabfat turned a few different colours today but no one was sick. We have told him tomorrow will be worse (it actually will be better)   Rotten lot eh? - has to be done though

[Maxwellian]

Tell him that sailors who are prone to seasickness, always eat rice pudding before they go to sea.

It looks cleaner on the deck!
