The last day

We just have a few little sand banks to get over or round then it's
into the orwell and up the river to Fox's! We normally aim to arrive
in the middle of the thames at high water to get good tide into the
center on the flood and away again on the ebb. Sand banks are also
easier to negotiate with more water over them! This time we shall b
there around low water but as it is neaps we are still going to try
our "short cuts"! Fingers crossed we stay afloat! (don't worry it is
all carefully planned) This means we arrive at Fox's at a reasonable
time and not at low water!

Thank you so much to everyone who has made a donation to one of our
charities. We have raised about £13750 so far which is a huge amount
of money but our target is £25000 so if you haven't yet donated please
consider a small donation today and let's see how close we can get!

We met Professor Pilkington when we were down in cowes and he is
likely to be spending much of the money you have helped us raise. He
has some very interesting and exciting projects on at the moment and
he is going to show us both round his lab next time we are near
Portsmouth.
