Angela is missing all six of her Grandchildren loads. We sailed down the Deben on Friday and passed several families enjoying this wide safe stretch of water and having a whale of a time. We spent the night on a buoy close to the river's entrance and then sailed to Southwold where there were more kiddies and families playing on the splendid sandy beaches. Wishing you were all here!!!
The trip from the Deben to Southwold was about twenty-five miles, more very light winds and a little sea mist from time to time but still managed to sail for all but two hours. The tides here run faster than we are used to and are a lot of help at the moment. In southwold we are tied to a wooden jetty with boats rafted out on the side of us, it's a very friendly place but getting off the boats at low water is a bit challenging.
The boat wants to sit three feet out and is in the mud when the tide is out so we can't pull it in. Last night we had to climb on the roof and swing the boom out to the jetty so that we could edge along it to get off. All for half a pint of shandy.
I thought you going slow for me to catch up, may be you should have gone west, if this is called global warming then bring it on!
