Update

You will not be surprised that I haven't been sailing for a while. That doesn't mean Toucando has been abandoned. I have been using her as my Southampton base while I do a part time MSc in demography (people counting). I wouldn't say it has been warm on board, but it hasn't been cold either. I've only had to put the diesel stove on about three evenings. There's not much action from the yachts, but the rowers still practise every day, and the usual commercial traffic makes its way up and down the river. Every so often the clam dredger comes and scoops up what it can from the bottom of Chessel Bay. I am working on Toucando's plans for next summer and hope to post something here and on toucando.net before long. Some longer trips including cross channel are definitely on the cards.
