Left Sea lift after greasing the prop, changing the Anodes
and painting Suzie Too’s bottom, headed off in a force 6 to Newtown
River. Arrived at high tide picked up a buoy, we were charged £16.00 for
the overnight stay. Wind picked up in the afternoon, but had a lovely
time swinging on the buoy no other boats in sight, then a First 40.7 ran
aground going the wrong way round the red, then tried to pick up a mooring buoy
going at 10 knots… very entertaining. Moving to number 2 buoy as
next tide is deeper and touching in the mud when swinging at low tide, must be
over a small mound. |
