Very short trip that took a long time for several reasons

A - blowing old boots
B - couldn’t get parked
C - forgot to turn SailTies off!

Had a lovely wet and windy time on Ossehoek.  Last night’s wind and rain was quite extraordinary.  Phenomenal cloud formations, fork lightning, sheet lightning, quite incredible.  Quite scary too as we were hit by the downdraughts as the system suddenly changed direction and came directly over us.

Today the wind is from the SW … so no protection at Ossehoek so we have decamped to Springersdiep where there is room for a couple of boats on a single walk ashore pontoon which faces SW and there is a snub of land to the south of us.  We should be good.  

(I have to say, the weather is certainly starting to lose its magic … but I guess that is the same whether we were back home or here)

Anyway … 🚂 this afternoon … and one has just gone past …

More wind and rain … such a surprise
