Things were going so well until I couldn't find the mobile phone. I searched the boat, the rucksack, the car (three times). It was depressing but the sun was shining and having lost a mobile phone and having resigned myself to her indoors being somewhat annoyed, I decided to make the best of the day............but it wasn't the same. All the time was the nagging doubt....where was the phone? Had someone picked it up?
It is clear that I'm getting senile. I came off the water early because of the phone. I packed away the boat and was about to get in the car and leave the marina when I found the phone. Stuck in the roof rack. Just don't ask! Don't say a word!
It was, albeit short, a great morning on the water. I'd gone with the intention of doing some picking up mooring and coming alongside practice but the winds were very fickle first thing.
But the was plenty on the water........I think it was HMS Illustrious in the distance. HMS defender, a frigate came past. The plymouth lifeboat paid me a visit and waved, as did the inshore lifeboat. I got caught in he middle of a big boat race as well......outpaced, outgunned........me not them.
Tides were perfect. High tide at midday. Winds rose steady during the morning.
All in all not a bad day but a little frustrating in places
