Monday 20th October - walk *** – Around Felixstowe – cloudy with
showers.
Another fresh breeze forecast from the south today with with lots of
showers, I hate sailing in the rain but still arranged with Ian to meet up
with Ian at Levington Marina at 9.15. A couple of lorries were unloading
stuff near our launch area so after taking a few weather pics I sat in
Ian’s van for a catch up chat as the showers rolled over! With the
lorries gone we walked over to the launch spot and it was foul, maybe 15
knots but it was gloomy, you could hardly see Felixstowe docks and the
light rain was blowing straight into our faces, not inspiring so we decided
to give it a miss and head for home! We might have parking issues this
winter with lots of work going on at our end of the marina changing all the
jetty support post meaning the the sections of jetty walkways with be
placed along our parking area, so we will probably have to continue to walk
our gear to sail!
Back home I sorted out my pics as the showers continued, in the end I
passed on my exercises and during a bight spell Mag and I decided to have
our daily walk heading down to the seafront and the clouds were impressive
as a large bank of dark clouds moved over, around the pier where we had to
shelter as the rain arrived. Luckily it was short lived so we carried on
towards the Fludyers and we got a glimpse of sun! Back to the town past
Harvest House, a quick trip around Tesco, home for a cuppa and cake. More
wind tomorrow but our van is in for a service and MOT but there is loads of
wind coming from Thursday but getting colder and with the clocks going back
this weekend that’s another step closer to winter!
