Mike asked Are you planning of doing any sort of log? If so, please feel free to publish it here.
I agree with Mike I don't think anyone was suggesting you were inexperienced but the heading New to Group maybe suggested this to us based on our own experience of first time hirers who have appeared on the group, planning an almighty cruise without due regard to the strenuous time table they have set themselves. You clearly know what's in store for you ! At the present time Sunrise is approx 6.30 am and sunset is now getting to be about 7.45 pm (varies across the UK). As you know Hire Boats are normally restricted within these times for cruising but you will also have got the idea that this isn't sometimes the case from other postings on the list! I suspect ever more over cautious insurers are wary of claims etc and impose these restrictions on the boat yards. As Mike says I do hope that you have time for a log report but will understand if your time is better spent eating, drinking and sleeping. Whatever you do enjoy yourselves. Trevor
