Week 15 - Sunday - Weymouth

Early start today, after a sightseeing day in Poole yesterday.

In the morning the boys left for home and Barry arrived with the food. He brought lots of frozen stuff, having emptied his mum's freezer of anything tasty! We can now survive 40 days and 40 nights with our supplies!

Barry then showed me round his home town and we visited some of his old childhood haunts.

It was a good sociable day and rounded off by a visit from Sue Forder and Chris. It was good to see them and we managed - quite easily actually - to avoid talking work!

It did make me realise though that I am going to have to make a return to the working world soon!

04:00 start this morning to make it round the infamous Portland Race at the right time. Coming out of Poole in the dark was quite an exiting start to Barry's first trip.

Just had sausage butties and I am off for my third snooze of the morning!

After a long day - 15 hours - we will hopefully be in Torquay tonight

  1. Andy, by the time Barry leaves your boat it will be the cleanest it's ever been and he will have reporganised everything into order. Dale
