Nice Trip out today
Lovely weather down here in Suffolk today. No wind and flat calm for once. Did a nice trip in the new to me Narwhal 4.5 from the Deben round to the Orwell and into Ipswich. Total of 50 miles round trip. Keep the season going I say

Good to hear! That’s a great trip. Thinking of heading out to cork sands Fishing if there is a good spot of weather next week.

Did you stop off at pin mill on the way [emoji6]?

It’s around 4 miles SSE from the entrance to the deben. Look up Navonics app for iPhone or iPad it’s great!

Yep.
We had a nice little run to Arran today. Lochranza for lunch then nipped round to Lamlash and then home. Same sort of distance 54kn mls, bit of a chop on the way back but so much better than being at work .
Winter ? Just put on some woolies and get on with it.
