A short day's run
today to get us to the mouth of a long stretch of canal that has only one stop
which is an expensive marina, so we want to enter the canal next morning
and make it through in one go. So wehad a later start and 0900 were picking our
way through the crab pots back to the ICW channel. By lunchtime we had the
anchor down and spent a lazy afternoon at anchor.
In the evening we
all gathered on board Nimue for drinks and dinner. As we were
leaving,we discovered thousands of flying bugs around the dinghy, and as we
approached Scott-Free we discovered thousands more. The boat was
covered in them,and we hastily made our way below and shut the hatch,hoping they
would be gone by the morning.
