It does what is says on the Tin..........haggis that tastes of curry!
No sauce, no vegetables, just dry haggis. Lovely!
On a mooring buoy in Queenborough now, waiting for the tide. The plan
Is to motor up the Thames today to St Katharines dock at Tower Bridge.
Should be fun.
Yesterday was a tough old day - with very strong winds to start with that we knew would subside later.
It was a case of just taking the pounding early on, knowing that it would improve.
The first 4 hours were very uncomfortable and scary. We were bashing into big waves that were breaking over us.
Eventually I decided to ease the pain by taking a different route to the Thames, which would allow us to run with the wind behind for a while. This is generally a more comfortable point of sailing.
It was better but hard to steer. The worst point came when a wave broke over the back of the boat and soaked the cockpit. Not had that before and I must admit that I considered turning back to Harwich at that point!
Anyway we soldiered on and the winds did eventually ease and died away.
This all put us behind the schedule and fighting the current for the last 6 hours, which added to the misery of the day!
Altogether one to forget - The only benefit being that the relief of finally arriving meant that even Haggis Curry tasted good!
