Good day :) my last day at work before we head off to Europe for 6 weeks :) Early start in Ipswich for 6:30 dropping Mag and birthday girl Jay at Levington with their bikes! Within100 metres Mag had a puncture which was quickly repaired because of the magic 'slime' - so after a few spins and a quick pump they were on their way down to Levington creek and along the Orwell. Passing Loompit lake along country lanes to The Grove spotting loads of deer, Marsh Harriers and buzzards - so a good start to Jays birthday - sunny too :)
I had an easy job near Haverhill and was lucky to finish early. Home by 1:30 picking up my new buoyancy aid from Seamark Nunn on the way. With the wind NW which is offshore I had a relaxing cuppa and chat with Mag before she set off to visit her old friend Mary while I did my exercises in the garden. I then headed out on the bike in search of coal. I joined the prom near the town hall but saw no coal even though the tide was low. The wind had switched onshore and picked up - 7.8 on the 133 would have been good but I continued all the way to Landguard before turning and speeding home, quickly loading the trailer and heading to The Dip. It was nowhere near as windy there but I rigged big and had a few planning runs before the wind disappeared completely:( Then home, shower and order a birthday chinese to have with Jay, Dan and Mag - I am starving!!!!
