Hartlepool, Fri 16th June 2017


Looked like there might have been a window in the weather this morning, but the wind continued to shriek in the wires n strings most of the day. 'Tis even doin' it now, at 1.30 sat  morn.

  Prediction is for perfect sailing weather satURDAY. All i'll have to worry about is sunburn :-) gonna head for Tynemouth as Sunday's predicted winds are very light so might struggle to get anywhere that day. i'd like to be on Tyne Monday morning, to get stove part and more reef in sail.

  Did a bit of boat fiddling; tarptent one  is now trash and 'new and improved' tarptent two has been deployed. For a bit of fun, fitted a rollock at back of boat to have a go at sculling. not tried it yet (will need boom inside t'boat), also connected sea-anchor, swivel, and rope so that can now be deployed without too much fuss.

3am dawn!
