Easter Sunday

After the smack boat outing yesterday the gaffers are wondering what to do today. Pete the knife suggests the Bakers Arms at Holbrook. We sail down and anchor. Inflate the dinghy and row ashore. Alison & I are not working well together on the paddles. We decide to look for a different dinghy.

The pub is great. We sit on the grass in the garden and all is well with the world.

The sail back is interesting. The wind is gusting. It rises steadily and then drops rapidly and then repeats. We notice again that Robinetta points much higher in a breeze than in light airs. As the wind rises I point her up. When it falls we are in irons!
