LA Girl leaves Tidemill - - - cry me a river - - -
19-45 hrs: Southerly 95 - LA Girl - under new (and enthusiastic) ownership sails down the Deben this afternoon, heading north to the Firth of Forth, the canal westwards and thus to Anglesea. I waved goodbye and wish her good winds and happy sailing. Thanks to Howard Ford for his good offices in selling the boat. - http://www.yachtworld.com/howardfordmarinesales/
Yea - I cried - obviously. But I am cheered by having a new boat and the sun shone all day.
Woodbridge, East Anglia - formerly North East England, United Kingdom
My web log has four strands. It started as a simple sailing log of my voyage from the North east of England in my Southerly 95, LA Girl.
As I came further south, the weather and my health deteriorated, so the second strand started, which is a commentary on various beaches and places that I visited.
The third strand is about lung cancer. I was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer in August 2009, having been taken to hospital in Ipswich by ambulance - unable to breath. I eventually returned to my boat in Woodbridge and then came ashore to a nice flat by the station. The fourth strand is about life in Woodbridge. I am now sailing a Jaguar 21 called lookfar. I am also sailing dinghies again and now have a Streaker. Note that sailing in the river is harder than sailing at sea.
Lorna died in 2013. This blog remains as a reminder of her wonderful character and life.

We saw LA Girl in Wells with her new owners! Prompted us to look at your blog...it will take time to catch up with all your trials and tribulations.
So impressed with your outlook!
