Phil's boat launch

[Philip Smith]

I'll be launching from 50.577066, -2.472344 at sometime after noon. I'm not sure how long it will take to drive there from Cambridge. There is a nearby car park called Chesil Car Park on the road to Portland. (On the right). It's easy to spot and there is a cafe and info centre there (or was when I launched 3 years ago).The postcode for the cafe is Weymouth DT4 9XE. I'll park there and walk over the Chesil Bank to the sea (about 300m).. The wind is still looking favourable so fingers crossed it will go OK. 

My phone number is 07736804165. 

Please send me a text or something if you are coming so I don't launch just before you arrive. 

I'll try to post a video and photos on my website afterwards (www.philsboat.info). There isn't much information on the new boat at the moment as I've been concentrating on getting the boat ready rather than updating the website.

(PS, sorry for the duplicate post, but I've just seen the button to start a new conversation.)

Good luck with the launch, Philip!

Great stuff Phil. Dick woke me at 0730 BST and I'm dressed and ready for a lift with him from Reading :-)

That place looks familiar. I'll take two trackers with us, so anyone can see our progress ..

Gotop2 on my "Blog10" page www.gpss.co.uk/rbblog10.htm

2launch.gif shows route and about 2.2 hours from Sunninghill, after Dick gets here from Reading :-)

I'll get this off before doing things like checking other emails :-)

Take Care - Driving ! :-)

Hi Guys. Here's an update after an SMS (Text) from Dick to say ETA here maybe 0910 so maybe we get there before 1130 BST.

Also, a direct link to the Gotop2 off "Blog10" is https://110track.com/mod/share/index.php?su=EDF901FEF5E7B32275134DDF6DAB98CC

I think I failed to attach our route image so I'll try again. 2launch.gif

Track us if you can - BUT Phil's Boat MUCH more important  (www.philsboat.info)- safe journeys :-)
