Monday looks set to be our first sea trial on HMS Pickle, to bunker up or refuel, put her through her paces and see what she does. I have purchased all the sea charts to plot our course and wonder how she will handle compared with the Spider T? Final preparations are now under way for stowage, provisions and crewing for what must be an epic voyage for historic reasons and a great adventure for the crew. Talks at high levels both here in Gibraltar and the UK are discussing various plans to mark this voyage by HMS Pickle including sending out a flotilla to greet her when approaching the UK and following the voyage by media aswell as farewell parties at Ocean Village. It has become more than obvious that the Gibraltarians do not want HMS Pickle to leave and we know that sad faces will be seen on both sides, theirs and ours as we have made good friends and been made very welcome.
