Probably my last ‘trip’ this season but beautiful weather - not much wind though….. according to the track I did a couple of ‘overland’ sections that must have been when I was asleep??

Derek Hathaway - You left after me! I wanted to go out with the incoming tide in view of the easterly wind. It wasn’t too bad though and good wind heading south. Frustrating delay in the sun coming out! You’ve had a much nicer day today.
