Well its been a funny day today ...
Mr Crute arrived around 9am and we were slipping the lines by 9:30am (without breakfast) to a forcast of F5-F7 winds with rough seas. By 11am we were struggling to keep the boat sailing in the dying wind! So much for modern weather forcasting! An early return saw us tied up again by around 12:30pm and having a 'Beer & Burger'. Saying goodbye to Mr Crute for the last time I also promised to attend baby Crute's 5th birthday in 2011.
Daz and I met up with Dave at 6pm to go for a trip to Eastbourne in a 250 horse power RIB! After leaving the marina, Daz was still shatting himself 20 minutes into the journey. With a average speed of 50 knots over the super calm sea we were there in no time and enjoying a meal in the Harvester. The return trip in the dark seemed even quicker and we had the boat completely out of the water several times on the rising swell. With music blasting this is the closest I have been to being mistaken for a drugs runner or something out of miami vice!
Tonight is my last night at cheap rate berthing, and from tomorrow its £22.70 per night so I need to get moving!
I' ve just (about to?) turn 38 years old! - Happy Birthday 'Me!'
