Yesterday the heavy wind and rain reduced at noon and we walked up the hill to Dover Castle. After visiting the secret war-time tunnels, ops rooms and hospital, we had lunch in the NAAFI. Not as inexpensive as Frank and I remember. A good day out. In the evening we entertained our new Dutch friends with a bottle of Aberlour and nibbles, before dinner of meat pasta and an early night, listening to the Force 7 south-westerly driving heavy rain across the marina.
Today the forecast is for Force 6/7, possibly Gale Force 8 later. We have decided not to sail! Roger Sturge has gone by train to Maidstone to see his sister. We fear a pub lunch might have to be forced down by Frank and myself. The weather for tomorrow looks little better at present.
Posted aboard Nancy on B pontoon, Dover marina, by BLB and FM.
