First the sun shone, then the wind blew, then we had rain, more sun, more wind, more rain and finally the evening turned out to be warm sunny and very pleasant. We came across a few boats struggling in the wind. one chap tried to make a right angle bend with a strong wind pushing his boat from behind, when the stern struggled to turn across the wing he powered back to try and stop hitting the far bank. no chance! However no damage just a bit of a problem getting off the bank. I follow the Tits McGee school on this. If in bought hit the power and point the tiller at the thing you want to miss and all will be fine, most of the time. If your going to cock it up, at least do it in style and give the Gongoozlers something to laugh at.
Had a nice meal in The Holly Bush in Salt. Great home made steak and kidney pudding, and Jan had Packington pork chops with a cheese and mustard sauce. We thought that mooring so close to the railway line might give us a disturbed night, but we heard nothing.
