Week 8 Whitby

When Rusty's cruises sold me this holiday he told me that every day would be like this. 25 mile sail with the cruising chute at 6 - 7 knots; slight adventure when the wind died and then came back at 90 degrees different followed by relaxing late afternoon in the sun reading. Cap'n had a snooze.

Now waiting for Whitby bridge to raise so we can get into the marina.

Big day for Rusty today as he bought his PIPE !!! In future years your grand children will ask "Where were you when you heard the news?".

Yesterday's champagne moment was Rusty about to remove his over trousers on deck after a long day's sailing then remembered he didn't have anything under them!

Then he spent the evening in the cabin in his vest and pants. He told me this was what he did at home. It was like a very low budget Bond film on the villain's yacht but they couldn't afford a pretty girl and had to settle for a ginger sailor!
