Day of Departure

Sunny morning. Windguru says that the first leg towards the North Channel from Bangor will go with mostly Easterly winds, speed between 11-15 knots. The Scottish East Coast on Saturday isn't looking bad either - mild Southerly winds! Well, what can we say about that...but that we'll remain sceptical and gladly take what's on offer if it really is to be!

For provisions we have a good measure of survival food. The Chef cannot unfortunately join us, so we will be four, but he has kindly provided the sea menu for the 1st leg, including some of his famous chilli, a huge lump of fresh roast beef and a horseradish sauce and a bottle of Tawny Port. We shall be grateful!

SATURDAY
Breakfast: Muesli, Milk, Coffee, Tea, Eggs, bread
Lunch: Tinned Soup and Sandwiches x 4 x 3days = 12 tins (tomato, chicken, lentil), Sandwiches with beef and the sauce (we've also cheese, chorizo, tuna for the sandwiches)
Coffee/tea break: biscuits, apples, bananas
Dinner: Chilli beef & basmati rice (chilli provided by the Chef)

SUNDAY

Lunch: as before but flavour changes for the soup
Coffee/tea break, as before

MONDAY
