21st June - 8.2nm Birthday cruise in the company of Tom, Sally, Gilly, Mark, James & Kris. Virtually no wind until it was time to finish. Made our way down to an anchorage adjacent to the Felixstowe container port terminal for lunch. Then motored back. Had some fun attempting to offload the crew without an outboard motor on the tender...but somehow we managed.
28th June - 6.9nm. Me and Tom. Tacked our way down to Levington marina, then had a run back.
5th July - 4.9nm. Single handing. This was really a trip to try and sort out a non-functioning echo-sounder. Once fixed, the weather was right for a short sail up and down the Orwell.
Hi Julian
ReplyDeleteDidn't realise you lived in St Ives. I live near Bedford. Still a long way to the coast. Good to see you at Walton backwaters Rally. I have put some photos of you taken by Alan on the DA website.
Regards
Colin
Thanks for that Colin. The Walton Backwaters never fail to disappoint. I wish I had plucked up courage to lift the mainsail on Sunday morning - the wind seemed a bit strong for single handing.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures look great. I'll upload mine in due course.
