Windy start

 This is the reason that we are still in the marina on Tuesday morning, 45 knots is severe gale force 9. Safety first!!
Arriving here on Sunday was an excitement, and we have settled in fine. Chris livened up our evening walk to the beach by sinking knee-deep in quicksand, and having to wade his way out after removing his shoes and socks!
We have had numerous walks, some very wet as the photo shows. We strolled around the town and countryside visiting the locks before returning to the boat to receive a safety talk and a tour of the boat
In the afternoon we learnt how to securely tie Tenacity to the jetty with warps and learned how to tie a Bow-Line. We were rewarded with a Pork Stir-Fry for tea.
Tom.
