Gone Camping

Blissfully quiet here at the moment as Miranda has gone camping with the Brownies in Brockenhurst. Last night there was a noticable gap, by tonight I am basking in the peace and quiet. Tomorrow it will all change.

I have been out with the boys sailing today. They want to get all the practice they can in, and with hindsight today was a bit windy. It was forecast as very light but from the time we arrive big black clouds and a very choppy sea told another story. Typically we had difficulty launching and they capsized twice before calling it a day in the first race, the second time really hard to right.

After the wind had died down a bit we went out again with me in the kayak as safety boat, my arms are aching a bit from trying to keep up with them and cover the ground. A few more messy aqueous sessions and we decided to call it a day - but all good experience nonetheless. No damage done.
