Day Cruise to Laboe

Jacqui Crowe

A relaxing start to the day for a change with overcast skies and a forecast for showers in the afternoon, but no wind. A bit of drama getting out of our box berth which was for boats up to 12m. The width of the trot is less than 12m, making turning round whilst missing all the mooring poles a bit of a challenge. Tamaroa doesn’t have the benefit of being able to turn on a sixpence. In future we will consider paying for a bigger berth which necessarily comes with a bigger trot. A bit of a frustrating sailing day as the required course was on a run and the wind was flipping between 0 and 8 knots. We did get the cruising chute up for an hour or so and very fine she looked until the wind died off to nothing again. The showers arrived, but were very light and short.
