Crusing plans 2022

[jdp]

Hi All,

I bought Lone Star LM30 last June and she is still in Plymouth but my intention is to bring her back to the Medway over the Summer.

I am launching her next week and will be berthing at Mayflower marina until the middle of June when I expect to begin a slow homeward cruise.

I would be delighted to meet any other LM owners in and around Plymouth and any on my journey homeward - just to say hallo and perhaps exchange some idea's and experiences of the LM.

I look forward to hearing from some of you,

Fair winds to you all,

John

A new App called SailTies is available free for IOS it is a log using GPS and enables you to keep track of all your trips big or small with just one touch, once completed you can add comments , photos etc.
I used it for our launch and shakedown sail last Wednesday so why not have a look.
If members were to use it we could all see each other’s exploits.
An Android version is due shortly.

I haven't heard about this app, thank you!

Just an update to say that we arrived at Chatham marina last Thursday safely with no dramas on our summer passages from Plymouth. Lone Star did everything we asked of her especially her original Bukh 24 which had to work overtime from the Chichester to Chatham with little wind. The Bukh did not miss a beat and pushed us along at 5kn + even against some adverse tides in Rye bay.
On the way we saw a few other LM's mostly on moorings and will post their photo's hopefully.
Now back on the Medway I would be interested to hear from and possibly meet up with other LM owners locally to share some knowledge and experiences. I am a member of Medway Cruising Club and hope to take part in their activities.
The ten legs of our journey can be seen on Sail Ties
