Well our boating season hasn't exactly gone to plan this year with glorious week day weather when we are working and windy weekend weather when we are able to get out..
So with low expectations we set off on Saturday to see what we could find..
So far, despite reservations and expecting to have to queue, the lock has not presented us any delays and its great having fuel in the marina so i can fill up the boat before going out.
local traffic. sad i know but scale of container ships amazes me. this is a relative baby but look at the scale against the MOBO in the foreground
cheesy selfie...
the sun was shining but the wind was building already.
These guys had just finished the first race of the day..
stopped for a spot of lunch.
The light ship is a great place to watch the world go by and i was VERY impressed with lunch!!

nice boat, shame about the uneven fenders...
looks so tranquil
heading out for race 2
not easy taking pics with our little point and shoot when we are bouncing all over the place!
And thats where the photos stop as it was rather lumpy coming back, great for rough water helming practice, not so great for building confidence for SWMBO..
Home after a wash down and refuel...
