Off to France

We decided this year to try the Normandy coast, as we have never gone that way before. I have on several occasions missed out going to St Vaast so wanted to find out what it was like.

It's been a glorious start to summer, lets hope it stays that way. today is channel crossing to cherbourg. maybe pick up some wine while we're here.

We are travelling with Adrian and Jayne on Sorrento

Dereks 80th

Lots of coming and going at the sailing club today with preparations being made for Derek's surprise party.  Met his son Peter and grandaughter along with his great grandaughter aged two.

The party was very good and the speeches very entertaining.

Sails Down

A break in the incessant high winds gave me an opportunity to get the sails off of Watanga. Still a cold grey day, but at least zero winds allowed me to work without danger.  She's in a sorry state, lots of green algie all over the deck areas, probably contributing to the fall I had back before Christmas.

We have had a great deal of rain recently but it shouldn't get inside the hull, I have some serious leak detecting to do before next season.
