Saturday

Towing Sirenia is not one of my most favorite pass times especially when she is loaded with all her gear.

Got to Woodbridge in plenty of time to rig and launch.

On the water and underway by 2.00.

Onto the mooring we are using at Ramsholt by 3.30.

Found Roger, who is loaning us the mooring, in the pub.

Spent the afternoon sorting out lines from the mast and other bits and pieces.

Ramsholt Arms for a meal in the evening.

Sunday.

The plan was to meet other members of the YBE.com forum at a beach up-river from the mooring.

We had sort of arranged to meet some of the folks of Harwich.

Headed down river under sail and crossed the Deben bar in 2.2m of water, 3.5hrs before HW.

We had a good beat down to Harwich and a great broad reach across the harbour.

Meet up with Neil, One of the planed BBQers.

He was waiting to lock back into his home Marina as it was to cold and he did not like the forecast for Monday.

Took a couple of photos and headed back to the Deben.

Another storming Reach out of the harbour entrance and once the 3 out-bound and 1 in-bound ships had cleared the channel we ran down wind home.

We managed to get her surfing at times reaching a peak of 7.7 knots on the log.

Back on the mooring to tidy up and collect No. 32 and off up the the beach.

No one there.

Back to the mooring and cooked the BBQ meat under the grill.

Monday

Rain overnight and this morning.

Lazy start, Clear up and head for home.
