Having had some big squally showers overnight we awoke to a cloud free sky and eventually after doing our jobs we settled down to listen to Italy V England rugby live on 5 Live from Rome. Having got the boat wifi working using a roaming 4G card we enjoyed uninterrupted coverage - apart from annoying requirement for us to be updated with what was happening at Crystal Palace v Newcastle - which was live on a sister station. Will they ever learn?

The gusty morning gave way to quieter conditions so we upped anchor and moved to a mooring just off Marin further inland

But we just may have to buy a new outboard...........
