So just where has this sailing season gone? Nancy Blackett is now on her last adventure of the season, the nine-day autumn cruise, culminating in the end-of-season laying-up event and dinner at Woodbridge on Saturday. At the moment, Nancy is sheltering near Manningtree on the River Stour, but with it gusting up to force 8 out there, the only time spent out on the water today is for a row on the river at Flatford Mill. With the forecast improvements to the weather, it’s now looking like we may be able to visit Secret Water on Thursday, and then enter the Deben on Friday. – John Smith
Rowing at Flatford Mill – John Smith
In part, that was a wind-up from Bryan, as they were really tucked up in Woolverstone and went to Flatford Mill by car! Their plans for the rest of the week are as written OK though.
