Big old tide - 5mtrs and I almost didn't go as the weather was distinctly grey and uninspiring, if not also wind-less. An hour before high tide though and the sun came out, and there seemed to be a little breeze, and with lift out fast approaching (two weeks) I took the opportunity..
Kind of pleased I did but it wasn't exactly blowing hard.. started of with a bit of NW for the run down the ditch, bang on cue it went round SW'ly for the beat down the harbour against the end of the tide, and bugger me if it didn't go back NW'ly so I had a nice beat back to the mooring, against the tide again!
In the end the wind dropped completely so it was a motor back - n'er mind - saw friends...
...hung the fishing line over the side (nothing today), and generally chilled to the calming sounds of Classic FM, we'll remember evenings like this come the depths of February....
