The Dock on the left is 125 m long, you should be able to go in sideways👍

bummer...but sometimes these things happen for a reason.....somebody up there doesn't want you to sail on a Friday!.......and is looking after you.

mean while back at the office,we had a successful launch,got the boat sorted and provisioned,agent is arranging our check out ,so leaving early hours Saturday for tioman island,malaysia,weather looks good with southerlies.

Thanks for that Johan.. as long as the electric will run a fan heater we'll be happy... huddled over a wood stove is not good for a nicotine addict..
'Cough.. cough..'

Hey Atoll... enjoy the heat my man.. last time I go past 51N..
Unless its summer...

[SaltyMonkey]

Good on ya, Phil,

I think you're going to come up roses on this one. Pretty d--n scary night for you, though. Safe journey back to the yard.

Ann & Jim

[Wotname]

Glad to hear that you are safe and well my friend
It was always going to a bit of a gamble with weather and for once the weather gods must have wanted to give you a small nudge in the ribs and saying "no yet Boatie, wait awhile"

Gives a new slant on the old saw that ports rot ship and sailors!
