The scramble to get ready and packed to drive from Paxton to Horning with Steven. There to work on the boat and finally commission the Navstar 2000D and Yeoman to work with the new interface.

We saw Daniel and Gary today and had lunch with them after going by boat to The New Inn.

Then a cruise down the River Bure, up the River Ant and eventually moored up at Ludham Bridge

An early call again and then I set off with the dog before breakfast. A hectic session packing and loading up the car as Steven arrived, dropped off by his son Daniel who works at Eaton Socon. With Sam aboard we then off to Norfolk, stopping for a tea break on the way. We bought some supplies from Wroxham and then drove on to Horning to start work on The Paxton Princess. I had trouble all morning and most of the afternoon with the installation of the 2000i interface until I found that I had made a mis-connection and then not set up the Navstar 2000D and Yeoman to work with the new interface.

Once I had made the breakthrough, we hastily loaded up and provisioned the boat and then set off down the River Bure, up the River Ant and eventually moored up at Ludham Bridge. All systems were now working and we planned to "chart" Barton Broad and then try out the auto-pilot in the morning. We had another sunny day. We saw Daniel and Gary today and had lunch with them after going by boat to The New Inn. Sam cruised with us and slept his first night on the boat being quite quiet after taking a little time to settle.
