Tony. I was over on the continent on the date of your departure otherwise I'd certainly have turned out. All the best and keep the diary coming!!

Tony, Sorry I missed your departure. I had hoped to get there straight after the PFA Rally at Kemble. Unfortunately a telephone call from a distraught daughter concerning her sick horse put paid to that one. It has also put a severe dent in my wallet. The vet's bill has just arrived. Take care and we will be following your progress. Regards Chris Maher 

Dear Tony hope you are healthy and safe!!  It's really great in HCC JE struck home couple of days ago - so everyone is miserable and your cheery inputs are not there to move us all forward.  The Bridges I have been over so far since you left are still there!  I'm going to the Vauld Friday evening so will pass all the ones we went over on our trip and I'll let you know if they are all standing!!

Best Wishes on your "retirement" hope you enjoy the voyage.

Good Luck Tony, I got a few great shots of your departure,I hope the book we passed you is useful, will follow your progress and look forward to updates.

Sorry I missed your depature but my wife is in Hospital.Good luck with the trip.

Tony, I hope by the time you read this you will have scrubbed that deck! Only kidding. Good luck and we'll see you for lasagne in Alagnain 2007.

Tony, Wishing you all the best of luck. (Hope to see you off and will follow your progress.

It's great to hear how things are coming along. I'll watch your progress with interest. Best wishes and "bon voyage" Andy

All the best Tony.  There will be your usual place at the bar waiting for you when you come home.  Will be checking the site regularly.

Tony, Good luck with the trip. I hope to be there to see you off on the 11^th. I am going to the PFA Rally at Kemble on 10^th and will continue to Usk from there on my bike (motor). I promise I will take good care of the Cub ! I will be following your adventure and am envious !  Chris & Karen

Best of luck, Tony - my retirement has been most enjoyable, but far less eventful than yours promises to be.  Sue says sorry, she can't translate "....about as much use as a chocolate teapot..." into languages other than French, so you're really on your own pal!

good luck tony...i take my hat off to you and wish you all the best...will be watching your progress closely..( especially through the south china seas!!!!)
  p.s  hope i am wrong about the flippers, snorkels wetsuits and skis!!

My expected departure is 11am on Sunday 11^th July 2004 from Newport Yacht Club in South Wales.

Thanks for the good wishes on my retiring. Now I can realy get going on the boat. A parachute sea anchor arrived to-day along with some engine spares, the rope ladder is almost complete and Peter Kerby is designing the work bench/chart table.

The Authority will be poorer by your departure

Many congratulations on having the sheer guts to attempt this voyage. Good luck. See you on launch day.

Well you have finally escaped the madhouse of the Council!! Enjoy your travels and don't forget to keep in touch.
