Well here we are once more at Suffolk Yacht Haven where we hope the electrician will receive our Garmin chart plotter back tomorrow or the day after.
We spent three very enjoyable nights with our friends Geoff and Sue Sinton at Woodbridge. We moored on Geoff's mooring on the Deben, and used his boatyard launch to travel back and forth from boat to shore. We stayed with Geoff and Sue and as always probably ate too much. We also managed to watch quite a lot of the Olympics. Glad to see us doing so well, although I would prefer the commentators to give more credit to the silver and bronze medalists rather than seeing them as a failure to win gold.
We visited Sutton Hoo which is in my book of the 100 most important places that made Britain. We've managed to tick a few off on this trip, and sailed past a couple more.
The weather looks like it might settle down a bit after Tuesday so we shall be hoping to progress back towards Poole by the middle of August. Fingers crossed.
The pictures show Geoff and Gail, Woodbridge, and my next yacht under construction.
Hi Les and Gail
ReplyDeleteWe gather you are having a bit of an enforced rest. Hope you are managing to see some Olympics. We were both in the Olympic stadium on Saturday night with Heidi and Dave - golden hour with 3 golds. Quite fantastic atmosphere and very proud to be British. Great long queues for shop, food and underground for return to hotel but we had a great weekend. Good luck on your return sail to Poole.
