The forecast was for wind, and it was correct. As predicted, it was very blustery this morning, and although I’m no expert on wind speeds, he forecast of 40mph gusts was probably about right. All three boats here have stayed put.
In late morning we walked into Thrapston, which turns out to be a bustling little town with plenty of shops. We had a cup of tea in a cafe, and bought a few things in the Co-op before coming back to the boat for lunch. In the afternoon, I was talking to the people from the boat in front, who then came back to Briar Rose for tea. It was a very pleasant afternoon of boating tales.
Every time we thought the wind had dropped, another squall would come through. We almost set off at 5pm to do an hour or two, but decided against it. Tomorrow is meant to be just as windy, except first thing, so we might try to get a few hours under our belts early. Unusually today I haven’t taken a single photo.
