The plan for the
remainder of the day was for 'Cathexis II' to depart near high water
and to pick up a mooring at Ramsholt Quay for the night, which is
nearer the entrance to the river and not subject to the same tidal
constraints. Eric would be accompanied on this short trip by one of
Robertson's staff.
In the morning,
others would rejoin 'Cathexis II' for a shake-down and acceptance sail
probably in the vicinity of Roughs Tower just south of the Harwich
Channel.
If all went well
then she would continue through Harwich Harbour and up the River
Orwell to be based at Woolverstone Marina above Pin Mill. I understand
that Eric has one of the hammerhead berths.
'Cathexis II'
won't be there for long, on this occasion, as Eric will be departing
for some summer cruising very shortly afterwards. We hope to receive
some progress reports and wish him fair winds and fine weather.
Speaking of
weather, the skies have darkened dramatically and it looks as though
rain will accompany their departure, as the following photographs
show! |
