4 Kidneys and a Wonky Leg

Well to be truthful we weren’t going anywhere anyway, but were suprised to find a massive dredger jammed into the marina entrance, only yards from our berth. No one had mentioned this to any of the berth holders or visitors. So as you can imagine a few feathers were getting very ruffled, as passage plans were ripped up and thrown in the bin and the marina manager put his humble pie in the oven and cotton wool in his ears.

Today was put aside for the more mundane matters of house keeping. First a visit from a Raymarine Electronics man, who sadly was unable to fix the chartplotter problem. Then a couple of wash loads of laundery. Top up water tanks, clean boat, that sort of thing. Some food shopping, lunch. Then a stroll up the promenade. Serious promenade here at Lowestoft, it goes for miles.

We are meeting some friends tomorrow who are taking a mini- break in Lowestoft, so we will be here tomorrow as well. Sunday is planned for our next move to Wells next the Sea, however weather is borderline for entry, and there are no viable alternatives nearby. Passage may be delayed until Monday or Tuesday
