Week 12 - Friday - Eastbourne

We had a great sail across to Eastbourne today, although it was pretty lumpy out there.

We had a rolling sea behind us for the whole day, which made for a fast but uncomfortable sail. I introduced Paul and Carol to the big sail, and we cruised along happily until the end got too strong.

Eastbourne is a massive marina and we were involved in a race for the lock with loads of other boats. A fishing vessel decided to try to run us over, but he changed his mind at the last minute!

We have jobs to do tomorrow, before leaving on Saturday.

One of these is to replace the buzzer alarm on the engine.

I had thought that it wasn't working but it turns out that it is at a frequency that everyone else can hear but not me!

Must be old age!
