Today we have been making the final preparations for our departure from Hull. We have really enjoyed being here but are ready for a change, whether or not it's a permanent change will have to be decided by mid August - or when the money runs out if sooner!!!
The weather certainly looks to be improving, though still a bit gusty, our insurance only covers us in weather up to force 4. No more than 3 for me thank you very much.... We watch the flags on the marina avidly, which way is it blowing? how much is it blowing? We are looking for ..... the flags are not moving.... lets's go!! I am told by Martyn that the preferred wind direction is Westerly so look out for force 3 or less and winds (if any) from the west, chances are we will be on the move.
We have stocked up on ham, cheese and wine just in case and filled up with diesel. We had to sail passed the Green Bricks pub to get to the diesel point and got heckled by the football supporters, it was quite funny really they played their airhorns and saluted! Hope we get that kind of welcome everywhere - one would hope so!
I'll add another couple of pictures for you - just so you don't get bored!
Bye for now.
