Today was just one of those free days for doing nothing other than messing about in boats. Winds were on the fickle end of F4, at some points diminishing to nothing, then with F5 gusts coming over. Fortunately, conditions were clear enough to see what was on the way. Most boats were sailing with some sort of reef in although for the most part, full sail would have been absolutely fine.
I sailed down the Orwell against the flood to anchor off Trimley Marshes for lunch, and then sailed back - against the ebb (!) - hugging the northerly shore at points while the mainly westerly wind fiddled around - there were some rather jagged tacks on the track! Finally reaching the top Orwell Bridge, I turned and, for once, enjoyed the ebb back to the mooring.
