5 nautical miles
Mobile phone rings at lunchtime...
'Are you playing boats this afternoon?'
It's Neil, a sailing friend who used to live here and now lives in the UK.
Our plan had been to do some work on the boat, maybe work on the lazy jacks... but... as we were walking along the quay to the mooring we realised the wind was perfect for a sail. So, changed plans immediately.
We only had a couple of hours before we would lose light so we quickly prepped the boat and were off. It was a lovely way to blow the cobwebs out after a weeks work.
As we were heading back and just getting ready for the marina, Neil's mobile rang... It was Paula, his wife... 'Can't speak now, we're just preparing to dock...' Now he'd already admitted that if we did sail while he was over here the rest of his family might turn green with envy, so what a time to call!
Great sail.
