Ann had agreed to drive our car from Nottingham to Kip complete with the final items of packing and also the essential outboard engine for Jomima’s tender. This had been too heavy to load onto the boat while she was out of the water at Newark. Ann left at 8:30 am and had a good journey, apart from heavy Friday afternoon traffic in Glasgow, covered the 300 miles by 3:30 pm. That afternoon we were welcomed to Scotland by Margaret and Morrison, who are also members of the Broom Owners Club - with a boat very similar to Jomima. That evening Morrison had arranged what proved to be and excellent meal for us all at the local hotel. However, by 10.00 pm Ann was fading fast, after her long drive to Scotland, so we were not long out of bed.
