Week 10 - Tuesday - Spurn Head

I made a mistake yesterday and underestimated how long it would take to get to Spurn Head.

Apparently I told Mom that we would be here by 15:00, but we actually arrived at 19:00 - a 12 hour day!

We had some excitement on the way after we were chased by a boat. We thought that they might be pirates after our huge stash of food! Turns out we were about to enter a restricted area and they were shooing us away.

We anchored around Spurn head, ate and went to bed. It was fairly windy and water was slapping against the side of the boat. Mom woke me at 03:30 to say that the slapping had stopped and were we floating away? I checked the anchor, all was fine; it was just that the wind had died down,

She is the only person so far to worry that there is lack of noise!

Plans are still in flux, up the Humber to Hull today.
