A life on the ocean wave.

We took a walk with Mac this morning to bridge 29 and then down past the Martin Inn to the farm shop.   It was a bit of exercise and by way of delaying the inevitable. The wind had picked up overnight and was gusting almost gale force with waves evident on the canal! In the end set off about 11:30 for the short cruise to Scarisbrick marina.  Everyone we past was asking the same question 'Are you heading for Liverpool?'  Probably because they were on their way back and wanted to know if we were as insane as they were!

Felt somewhat nervous as we turned through the bridge into the marina - there was a lot of water, lots of wind and plenty of boats to avoid hitting!   Managed to moor up by the fuel point as intended but didn't execute the 180 I would have liked as the wind was not helping at all.  Called at the cafe for instructions and moved onto a vacant jetty in front.  Again failed to reverse in as I would have preferred due to limited room, wind and other boats but managed to get into the indicated spot, moored up and went for lunch in the cafe.  Of course as the afternoon wore on the weather has improved a little there is now some blue sky and we are not rocking as much as we were. 

All set to see Simon tomorrow.
