I didn't realise you were really Uncle Albert! Good stuff.
Well the sun has risen here again. The morning is utterly still, but the peace broken now and then as the generators start up to counter the regular power cuts. Refains from Nelson Mandela's funeral can be gently heard once the generators go off and peace is restored. I was thinking it seems a thousand miles from the East Coast - but then it is init - but still it reminds me of waking up after lying at anchor overnight just down from Southey Creek opposite Oea Island on a summer Sunday morning. The last of the ebb tide quietly chuckling against the lands of the clinker hull while in the distance the unmistakable intake roar of a Seagull can be heard. SWMBO adds another but welcome intrusion of sound with bacon sizzling in the pan and slight clank of the tray as she checks on the toast. The sun is appearing over Ramsey Island and the sky is blue promising a placid morning and a sea breeze starting at midday. Few people will hear that delightful sound of 'chuckling lands' these days and even fewer the roar of the Seagull but I suppose that's progress. The day's strategy? We'll start the Stuart after breakfast and motor while the calm holds down river as far as we can, so that when the tide turns and the sea breeze fills in, we can turn round and run up river eventually to our mooring..............

It's dark and grey out there, so I feel like a reminder of summer too. It wasn't a great year for photos as I broke my camera and had to make do with a cheapie. We got plenty of sunshine in the Baltic though, but not much sailing.

Seeing as we are getting all artistic, how about this one? And a virtual pint if you can guess where!

Had some sun in Blackwater in May 
Then some rain in Ostend later in May
And won some silver again
Sure I used to be able to put pics from photobucket on here!

Several of us have had problems. If you search you might be able to find the fix, which involved changing one or two settings in your account.

Tollesbury, or Salcott, hedging my bets?

You can, they've just made it more complicated than it used to be

Half a pint each. You obviously know where my boat is moored! Next year I hope to go a bit further! ( B row, Stone, Osea?)

The family boat used to be moored on 'D' row.

I suppose this should be a 'where is it'? But then there are not many clues beyond the URL(!)so it might be a bit unfair. But I've always liked the light.

Sunk roundabout?

No. But a logical suggestion.
