I normally finish work at 1800, so will need as late a start as possible to make this. I could possibly arrange to try and leave slightly early.

Let me know your sailing times soonest able seaman Andrew, the tides may be more favourable for a later departure...tractakid wrote:I normally finish work at 1800, so will need as late a start as possible to make this. I could possibly arrange to try and leave slightly early.
I imagine our voyage may be a fairly short one in any case....

Should a fair wind be blowing I should be alongside in time for this one. The treasure map is proving more fiendish to navigate than at first consideration though.
