The east coast weather has been lovely all this last week.
We had a great weekend onboard. Went for a misty walk at 0530 at the rocks, tacked up the river and broad reached back and got a coat of varnish on.
Sometimes we moan about this and that and forget to celebrate when it has been good. Reminded me of last june - our caribbean home!
More weahter like this please.

We were out yesterday going round in circles getting compass swung. Like a pond, great fun. Taking a load of kids out to see the seals today, but watch out as they may let me have a go at the wheel /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Only the sails to come back from Dolphin in Harwich great plank of teak on its way from Brook bros. in Maldon for cockpit seating polish topsides oh and a new spray hood

this was supposed to be a moan-free post where we all revelled in the "pleasure" of Yotting. Oh, dear. As we're metioning it, I've got to haul out next week and lose 2 weeks to repair a rotten piece of deadwood. Wish me luck that there's no more lurking underneath...

Just back from a week of very basic camping - tent in a field - hole in ground type toilets with the Sea Scout group on the Norfolk Broads.

13 Scouts - 6 Toppers, 1 Bosun, 1 GP14, 1 Enterprise, Kayaks and safety boat.

On water every day except 1 - inter watch cooking competition to create a 3 course meal for 4 or 5 in watch with £10 and cooking over an open fire / mud oven.

After a week in a tent I ache like mad and slept for 11 hours last night but yes it was good fun to return 13 kids exhausted to their parents.
