In preparation for next year’s big summer holiday to the
Scottish Borders we are getting in as many solo coastal trips as possible
between now and then.
We recently undertook our first solo passage from Wells next
the Sea to Boston which was a resounding success and are now planning our next
solo coastal cruise for the end of next month.
If all goes to plan and the weather stays fair we are
planning a long weekend break in Kings Lynn. To fit this trip into a four day
break does mean that we will have a long first day of cruising. With the tide
times we will be working to, we will need to be at Boston ready to go through
the lock for midday on the Saturday. This will mean a long evening cruise on
Friday night and an early start and long morning cruise on Saturday. On the
plus side this does mean that we should be in Kings Lynn for early afternoon at
around 2pm to 2.30pm just as the tide turns, which will help us when mooring on
the pontoon.
We have yet to visit Kings Lynn or the Great Ouse for that
matter so this trip will also be a venture into the unknown for us. We always
enjoy exploring new waterways and new places so this trip will be very much a
dual purpose affair.
Now all we need is for the settled weather to continue
through next month. Too much to ask?
