We set off at mid day for our next port of call, Amble, a very tidal harbour that you need to arrive at close to high tide. One hour out I looked for my sailing jacket only to find it was not on board. A phonecall to the yacht club revealed that it was hanging up in their bar.
Given the price of nautical clothing there was no option but to turn back.
Arrived at four in the afternoon. I steered in while Bob did ropes and fenders, and to add to a fairly unsatisfactory day, I hit a ladder on the pontoon and chipped the paint on the bow.
And it's started to rain.
Hope tomorrow goes better!
