| James & Carol just before departure from RHYC |
We left our Royal Harwich Yacht Club berth as planned at noon and motored into a light wind to Lowestoft. The trip down the Orwell River was warm enough to sit in the cockpit and enjoy the sunshine, I was reminded of the first time I sat out in 2009 in late May or early June when we left Gdansk for Hel (Poland) and all of a sudden a Force 10 gale blew in causing damage to our genoa sail so we had to return to Gdansk for repairs - I called that trip to 'Hel and back' which was quite apt! However, I am please to say we had no repeat of such a freak storm today and it was lovely gentle sea - just what I like, no need for seasickness tablets and it will be super if tomorrows trip across the North Sea to Ijmuiden is similar which according to all the forecasts it will be.
