Hooligan

This weekend saw the start of our half term holiday, however nothing has gone to plan due to storm ‘Brian’howling like a hooligan all weekend.

Our original intention was to let the strong southerly winds ease on the Saturday and spend an enjoyable day in port, and then head out on the river Trent on the Sunday when the wind was due to move to the west which would give us a smoother run.

We didn’t have a good nights sleep at all on Saturday night due to the ongoing ferocious winds and rain lashing the boat most of the night, so decided to cancel our booked pen until Monday when the winds will be significantly lighter. 

We will head towards Newark on Monday. We are not sure if we will head any further at this point, as we need to be back home on Friday.
