Anyone out on the Orwell today? (29 July)

[Koeketiene]

Or the approaches thereof? (Cork Sand Yacht Beacon - Landguard)
Around 14H30 - 15H30.

Was a bit blustery and we came steaming up the river and was wondering if anyone managed to take a picture of us.

Was out around that time but the 'commanding wind' and the shallow water around Pye End ment we were rather occupied with not going aground at 8 or 9 knots!

We got back before the wind increased dramatically.
Boat 'washed' down by torrential rain interdispersed with hail......

We got the rain, the hail and the squall.

Left Ramsgate in the morning - brilliant, lazy sail all the way up till the Sunk LV.
Then things turned 'interesting'.

Our bow wave at times had the look of something normally featuring in Mobo wake shots.
Hence wondering if anyone had a picture.

Trust you had a decent trip.

And vice-versa

Trip OK.
Great time in France.
Just did more motoring than I had hoped. Ramsgate-Brighton and Dieppe-Boulogne-Ramsgate in particular.
Still, good to be away for 2 weeks. Week ashore now, and then a couple more days away next week.
Then, back to work.
