Sorry about that - laptop now back up and running.

So the weather forcast for Saturday and Sunday was gales and rough seas - not sailable. I had stayed saturday night near Brancaster which was about a 3 hour round drive to the new campsite nr Great Yarmouth. We had all planned weeks ago that we would take a short break this comming week and Pete and i had booked flights from Norwich to Exeter from Monday 21st returning on Thursday 24th. Because of the poor weather it was agreed that we should pull the dates of the break forward.

Sadly Flybe dont fly on the other days - meaning that we couldnt re-arrange our flights. So in the end it was decided that Pete and co would take trains - Charlie back to Haslemere, Pete to Exeter and Tony to London. Caroline took Stuart and i back to rutland, and then we as a family went on to Salcombe on Sunday evening milly having competed on her pony (Dodger) before we left.

So i am writing this on Monday morning in sunny Salcombe and really looking forward to a couple of days rest. It sounds silly but last week was really tough and the thought of a rest is great.

So i will be off line until Friday which we hope will be our next day sailing - From Wells Next the Sea to Lowesoft - i think

So till then........
