Had a look at the Tricomalee, 200 year old square rigger and a dishevelled paddle steamer, the Wingfield Castle, had a couple of lunchtime pints which felt so cool and relaxed compared to a 'normal' working Wednesday. Visited what must be the massivest asda to top up on dark n stormy supplies (dark rum and ginger beer) and completely failed to modify new tarptent instead chatted. Going aboard Septimus this evening where Mike is kindly cooking a bunch of us dinner.
Spot the dinky dinghy
Tomorrow plan to leave early to miss most of the strong winds and get to North Shields, hopefully get third reef put in mainsail and pick up replacement pump for stove. I've hardly used my gas replacement one, I've bin drinking tea and eating out in these civilised marinas.
