The sharper
eyed amongst you will have noticed that we didnt end up in Whitby and instead
made it to Wells next the Sea. The simple reason for this was the weather and
sea state. We had fully intended to make the trip to Whitby but after a choppy
run down the Humber followed by a wet and windy day stranded in port it was
obvious this trip was not to be. Instead of admitting total defeat we poked our
bows out on Monday morning and set sail for Wells next the Sea instead, running
with the weather instead of against it. Still a bumpy and slammy ride but much
better than if we had headed the opposite way.
We reached
Wells on the day of the lighting of their Jubilee beacon so a great party was
held on the quayside which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. A great way to unwind
after a decidedly uncomfortable crossing.
It was nice
to revisit Wells, the town is now a favourite mooring spot of ours with plenty
to see and do whether you want to be energetic or just relax and unwind for the
week. We are really looking forward to heading back to Wells next month. Before
we can go back however we have a long list of jobs to do to get Naughty-Cal
ready for her first solo coastal cruise.
