The article about the trip from the Solent to the Dart and back again has been published on the Shrimper Association website and I have received several very impressed comments about the journey and the small boats that undertook it.
Now the problem is what to do next year.
Personally I fancy France and then a week or so in the Channel Islands before crossing back for the Dart Rally and then back along the coast to the Solent. Need a crew for each crossing and unlikely to attract much interest as a little too far for most I suspect.
Other options include the Scillies or Falmouth for a week or so and then Dart - Poole etc. The trouble is having to get the boat out of the water and trail her down to the start point - I'd prefer to sail but it doubles the trip duration so not likely to go down well at home????
Oh well lots to ponder......
