We left Grimsby at 4am this morning and covered 101 miles to reach here – Lowestoft. For the first day we had a little bueski and even sun though still definately needed jumpers! Who has the summer, cause we certainly dont! Large swell out there today, but at least we glided over most of them rather than climbing up and falling off white crests with not a lot of control. We saw a few other yachts out today in the area of The Wash all trying to make their way south. The group scattered today – the 3 boats sometimes virtually out of sight of each other. Gremlins on the VHF did not help communication! We miss our friendly puffins they don’t seem to come this far south. The lobster pots continue to harass – today we had 2 white ones that flew away and one black one that swam away! With fair winds we might get home this week, but if the past 3 is anything to go by ……
