Day 18 May 16th Rest Day in Wells next the Sea.

So after a damp entry to Wells last night, did I say it was raining? Well it was, and by the time we had berthed we were wet and cold. Fast forward 12 hours.

Today we woke to bright sunshine and a promise of a warm day. First thing was to find Calor Gas again, We now know a 6kg bottle lasts approx 12 days.

Transport to some local attractions was none existant if you don’t have a car, so we opted for a wander around town, nosing around the various curiosity shops. Coffee at a place advertising “The best sausage rolls ever” Well you have to try one, don’t you. Delicious but misnamed – possibly the most expensive

As low tide approached we walked down the coast path beside the channel to the lifeboat station to see the sea. Only, it wasn’t there…..

We’d sailed in over that 18 hours earlier.

We also discovered a bit more about the other yachts we’d sailed into Wells with. Three of the others are also on their way around Britain. . One is going to Scotland and the other to Grimsby, everyones next stop. It’s a flotilla.

As you can see we also found a horse sculpture, a rest home for old lifeboats and plenty of birds on the Salt marshes.

    Grimsby a strange place up the river and through a lock were the opening times were hard to fathom, but once inside you’ll find one of the friendliest yacht clubs with very cheap beer. Enjoy. Alternatively just anchor behind spurn head.
