to meet Sally tomorrow, so Dave can get back to Nottingham for work on
Saturday. Problem is the tide times mean that we wouldn't make PP
until 8 or 9pm which is too late for Dave to make it back. Also head
winds are north westerly force 5, so progress will be slow. So we
headed around a choppy Burrow Head then 34km into the wind, all the
way up to the head of Luce Bay to Auchenmalg Bay, try telling that to
the coast guard!!! Use of the phonetic alphabet would be useful, if I
could remember it !! Alpha uniform Charlie hotel etc.... Another long
day on the water. 7.5 hrs into the wind. Going backwards if you stop!!
On the os map it showed a camp site, well os was wrong, trailer park
only so another night with no shower!! Luckily we met a nice chap from
the local pub, the Cock Inn. he kindly let us camp in his garden. He
has ice cold beer and great steak n ale pie too. Wicked.. Pete xx
