Sunday 12th - bike ***** - Early morning Felixstowe circuit including breakfast at the water ski jetty – Sunny and warm.

For the second day in a row we wake to another sunny day but with light airs today so Mag and I decide to take our breakfast to the water ski jetty on the River Deben. We were down on the prom at 6.45 and thankfully it was much quieter than yesterday. The usual route down to Felixstowe Ferry passing a few Stand up paddle boarders with fishing boats heading out of the Deben which was like a mill pool:) Yet more pictures taken of boats and reflections at the Ferry before heading down past Kings Fleet to the picnic tables at the water ski jetty which the dykes full of noisy Reed warblers with pippets and butterflies flitting about in front of us as we peddle along. Weetabix with fruit with a cuppa for breakfast while we are entertained by two speedboats, one with wakeboarders and one with water skiers! We continue past Ramsholt hoping to see the Spoonbills which have take up residence in the marshes on that side of the river, sadly there was no sign of them but we spotted some birdwatchers over there so they are probably about! There was a couple od Shell ducks in the river with 13 young, they must have been baby sitting them as a SUP passed with four open water swimmers. We saw the Marsh Harrier as we approached Kirton Creek before taking the footpaths and bridle ways back towards Felixstowe. We had a message from our friends the Hurrells from their carven inviting over for a cuppa so headed down there for a nice catch up, although I have seen Neil loads while windsurfing, we think it is the first time we have seen Linda this year! Then back home for a well-deserved salad in the garden after having been out on the bikes over six hours! I half heartily did my exercises and read, with the SE breeze picking up I learned that David Coles was heading down to The Dip to give his new foil board a spin but I was knackered and fell asleep in the garden! So a great weekend with two good bike rides covering 30 miles :)
