It was a tale of two halves yesterday on the ole weather front. Every forecast said that doom and gloom would descend up us at 4pm and they weren't wrong!
After a lazy morning we went up the river on a memory lane cruise for Kath who in years gone by was based at HMS Raleigh. Lots of ships and submarines in all decked out with their nautical flags in preparation for the jubilee celebrations.
We dropped the pick at Jenny Cliff bay for an alfresco lunch in the sunshine and virtually enjoyed the last sunshine of the day.
Sails up we spun about for the rest of the afternoon showing our northern swailing newbies how it is done. RedSnapper did not disappoint, hitting the dizzy heights of 8 knots at times. The upwind return back to port graced us with not much comfort and many a splash back over the spray hood cover.....and the rain started bang on time as predicted.
We are in Sutton Harbour and after a quick jaunt ashore ate a surf n turf supper back aboard.
We are bring called to prayer this morning, it's the Plymouth half marathon and the tannoys were our early morning call!
Forecast is bleak for today but at least it's dry, let's hope it calms down for the ferry night crossing tonight.
