more boats emerge

16-30 hrs: Boating activity is increasing on the Deben - several yachts and motor boats went up and down the river. Here the dinghies of Deben Yacht Club jill about before a race - in light wind and bright sunshine.

I jilled about in the boat yard getting a laser ready to sail. I fear I may get too out of breath - but the only way to find out is to try. I also ate traditional sailing club food - bacon butties - yum. It was so warm for a short time that I wore only a tee shirt (and trousers!) - but had to put on all the thermals again when the wind got up after lunch.

More days like this please.
