No Boating Today

Technical faults! A broken cable put paid to our boat trip today. There we were, untied, family onboard ready for adventure on the Orwell and there were no gears! Luckily we hadn't drifted from the pontoon and I was able to jump onto it and secure a line.

So we had chips instead from a nearby bar and fed the swans with a few crusts from our sandwiches all the while listening to other craft 'locking in' and out on the radio. Our neighbours left for a couple of hours sailing as we packed up to come home. Maybe next time......
