southampton to norway

Hi to all, I have left Hythe marina and am now in oudeschild, Holland via Calais in a thundercat again. I hope to raise more money for the cancer charities and this is for the memory of my father who could not make it. I will be leaving for holgeland for a quick fuel stop then to hvinde sande in Denmark on Saturday. I am hoping to make Norway by Sunday. I will post pictures as and when I can. Cheers john

I have done southampton to Calais and broke down. Dirty fuel! I made it to oudeschild, Holland with problems. Went to leave today to helgoland for fuel and then to hvide sande, Denmark but the weather did not allow me. Tried to go and got 50 miles and had to turn back before I broke the boat. Now getting piss before I get pissed off with the weather!!

Picture of boat on the water shows how small it is. Hey John

Might be a s*~t PR guy John, but you got alot of guts and boat know how
