'Alexandra Louise' : A sail around the UK

A day after taking early retirement, from my cosy office job in sunny Guildford, I intend to sail my 50yr old sailboat around the UK. As July 14th fast approaches I admit to feeling scared stiff and, at times, wish I'd kept my mouth shut as my son has now told his school mates. In short, I'm obliged to give it a bash. On a more positive note I am excited at the prospect of an adventure before bits start dropping off ( the boat and me) and I finally retire to my sofa, some wine and SKY TV

No blog day but Im still about.

11pm and I've just dropped anchor somewhere in the inky black Humber estuary. Lots of stories today but just too tired and may not get a chance in the morning. Will do a 'double spread' later to include getting a rope around my prop and running aground with alarming results !
