Too windy and cold to want to move

We enjoy sailing, but for the last week we have been moored up in Stromness, using Robinetta as a floating home while exploring Mainland Orkney by bus with our son. He went home on Friday evening, so in theory we could have left on Saturday. In practice with a solid northerly force 6 blowing we had no desire to move. Julian has developed a horrid cold, and all the walking we did over the week has left me with a painful blister. We have mains power on the pontoon, so plugged in our electric fan heater and stayed snug and warm.

Today the wind was supposed to drop, but at 10 a.m when we could have left it was still blowing hard, and very cold.  Nothing had changed by 11:00, so we decided to nurse Julian's cold and my blister for another day. Being outside in the cold just did not appeal.

I don't think we are getting soft, just a little more attached to our home comforts!
