Git! Very little wind initially until just past the Orwell Bridge. Were you awake when we screamed past you?

I looked out of the window at the river on Saturday morning and was really tempted to call the great-uncle-in-law and see if he fancied a sail as I know his boat is in the marina. Sadly I was already committed to taking the boys to watch Ipswich Town lose to Leicester..

Turns out he would have loved to go for a sail!

Do I need a passport?

Am thinking of an Orwell Marina until end of March, then if I can get one a swinging mooring at Pin Mill. If not will go back to Brightlingsea in the spring.

Could cause havoc with nearly 5 tonnes and a long keel with all those ££££ Oysters about

plenty of fenders & ask Ben to show you how its done, he is a natural boat handler

 

[sailorman]

Ben at the helm of an Ocean 72, no bow thruster either. Bought her back in onto the linear into a 75 ft gap

 

[Athene V30]

I'm ok going forwards, its backwards I struggle with!!

Aye, if you hadnae you'd have noticed how ungreen the boat was after your sage advice! Much appreciated BTW!
