Home again

The original plan was for me to drive to West Mersea while Ben and Alison sailed there. But Ben was gone. And the wind was westerly. We caught the 04:10 forecast and it was claiming north westerly sometime during the morning. Winds were strong too. The next tide window was 3-4 pm so we sat around and fixed a leak in the heads inlet and thought. Chatting to Sue and Howard, Sue offered to drive the car down for us. They were taking Spare Rib to West Mersea so it was a big help to us and not a huge problem for them - thanks Sue - that was wonderful! So in the end, Alison and I sailed happily home.

Farewell to Felixstowe
