Nancy Blackett's autumn cruise has been a fairly eventful one so far. Last weekend saw a return trip to Harwich Harbour, leaving Woolverstone on Saturday morning and returning on Sunday. After Monday's gales (and the day out at Flatford Mill), Tuesday afternoon saw her motoring upriver to Ipswich before sailing under headsails to Shotley. Today (Wednesday) was devoted to a sail in the Stour, while the cruise should end at Woodbridge in the Tide Mill Yacht Harbour at Friday lunchtime, in time for the end-of-season lifting-out and the social events on Saturday afternoon and evening.
