Renegade is back on her mooring following a little shake down (or up or out) sail to the Blackwater. We tried the new cruising chute, which flew well except on a dead run and we will experiment with Dennis's faithful pole another time. We witnessed a beatiful sunset off Stone, which you can see on the Renegade homepage.
As the rest of the country sheltered from the rain, we experienced fine weather for a beat out through the Swin Spitway, a reach to N.E. Gunfleet and a beat back to Harwich in SW 4-5.
With Walton Tower on the horizon ahead, we are heading for home.
Having spent many hours fitting Raymarine radar to Renegade we were disappointed to get the "NO DATA" message on the screen. After exhaustive checking of the connections and finally sending a technician up the mast, a new cable and display connected to the "dome" confirmed that the fault was in the Raymarine unit.
