Friday 16th April 2010 we were delighted to welcome the vicar of Beverley Minster (above) The reverend Jeremy Fletcher and Mervyn who is in charge of the Minster newsletter on the boat in Beverley Beck. They were great company and delighted to give us a send off on our boat pilgrimage. Mervyn took a lot of pictures and we will apparently be featured in the Beverley Minster Newsletter coming out shortly. We put the bunting out on the boat to welcome our visitors.

We were also joined by our vicar from North Newbald The Reverend Michael Bushby who joined us for a quick sail up the Beck into the town. This was the route used to bring the stone to Beverley Minster when they built it, so it was all very appropriate.
We leave on the tide from Beverley Beck tomorrow (monday 19.04.2010). We will lock out at 07.00 Hrs. We are being joined by Judi Murden from Radio Humberside who will then drive into Hull to catch up with us as we sail along the river. We are then on live at 08.45 Hrs, so it should be interesting !

Best wishes

Hamish and Diana
