Lots of wind forecast! It might not only be the Tower that's rough. Enjoy!

Still undecided (though it looks 70-30 in favour
) we should be off Shotley somewhere between 12H30 - 13H00.

Well, we sailed as far as Pin Mil - then it started gusting 25-30kts.
Discretion is the better part of valour, so headed back.
It got beyond fun, or even interesting and sporting.

Same - here... came out of Shotley, raised some sail in the lee of the container port and.... turned left - up the Orwell. Had a great sail up the river (lee rail under on a couple of occasions), turned and sailed back until wind on nose - then a bit of motoring
Then a surf up the Stour to Wrabness under headsail alone - and back to Shotley - F&C in the Shipwreck washed down with a couple of pints of Greene King's finest.
Roughs Towers circuit - keeping that for another day
