What a difference a day makes
My friend Tonny who is half Dutch says that the weather is always good I'm Holland
After nearly a week of gales and horrible weather in UK I was keen to believe him.
So with an expectant mood we set off yesterday morning to sail to Amsterdam.
The weather when we left was windy, it soon became very foggy and this morning when we arrived in Holland, it was SUNNY!!
Thanks Tonny!!
Also thanks to the boat St Christopher for helping us across the North Sea in one piece
My friend Steve say he is now in a holiday mood. Sorry there is no pictorial evidence of this
Anyway we are all happily moored in a nice marina having a drink with the crew from Bonita
and looking forward to another hot day tomorrow

Keep 'em happy
My friend and sailing companion, Mike says that it is very important to keep your crew happy and occupied when you are gale bound. He should know as he has had a lot of experience in this field whilst cruising on Bonita (bonitayawl@blogspot.com)
So with this in mind today I did their washing them we got on a bus and went on a lovely ride to Ipswich
As you can see they are really enjoying themselves.
On the way back we stopped at a chandlers which is like taking children to attend toy shop
You can see that they are much happier after that excitement.
We are optimistic that the weather will be better tomorrow so that we can set off to Holland

Happy Holiday inHarwich
Well here we are in Harwich which is a change from Brightlingsea. My friend Steve has been as happy as a pig in ship because we had a lovely sail in force 6 winds on our journey to Harwich and neither he nor I felt sea sick which is always a bonus. My friend Tonny
has a steel stomach,
The wind is now blowing more strongly so it is very comforting to be sitting in the bar at Shotley Marina watching the boats on the river whilst nursing a pint of Adnams.
Tomorrow the weather is probably going to be worse so we are looking forward to getting to Holland on Friday (it all depends on the boats St Christopher)
I wonder what will happen tomorrow. Will Steve still be happy? Will Tonny's start to rust?
