Here we are in Woodbridge Suffolk, with all the sails and canvas stowed; and the running rigging washed, dried and put away. We have installed a brilliant dessicant dehumidifier (uses shore power) to keep belowdecks dry through the winter - by Meaco - and it will also supply some heat.

Talking of heat, we have been enjoying the diesel heater at night when the temperatures here drop to the high 40's: it works well in spite of the amateur installer!

We are flying to Lancaster PA next Monday, and will be there until December when we will fly to Marco I FL for the winter. So this will be our last post here for a while.

The Tidemill Marina is a perfect place for us to store the boat for the winter. We will return to Adventuress next Spring and our current plan is then to sail to Scotland and Scandinavia.

(Sorry about the accidental post here recently of an email we had received from some new English sailors!)

Best,
Nancy and John
