It was indeed good fun. Not exactly where we planned to be when we set off. Original plan was to head to Whitby but the sea wasnt nice that way so we went to Wells the long way around

We were moored at The Packet Inn, Dog Dyke when the jets were going over. The end of the runway is about 100 metres or so beyond the pub. Its where we are heading to watch the Waddington Airshow from in a few weeks

Dont be silly.

Looking forward to our next holiday in four weeks now. Three weekends to get the boat ready and then we are off back to Wells for a week. This time on our own and it will be the first time we have been to sea on our own.........

I cant take any credit for the last 5. They were taken by the crew onboard Nitty Gritty. The rest are mine though

It was.

It was a little bumpb and slammy on the out bound legs on the Humber and on the way to Wells hence the lack of photos. Think the camera would have been drowned had we got it out. But other than that a great trip.
