Carra Tidings

1^st May We awoke to a glorious morning, though there was a nip in the air. We were planning to have a lazy day just pottering doing boat jobs as we weren’t going to leave that day.

After about 8 attempts, 3 videos, I managed to tie a turks head on the wheel. Admittedly I had to tie the simpler version as the more complicated one defeated me. Lunch in the cockpit followed by a walk around the bay. Several boats came back and the pontoon was soon a hive of activity and I was reminded that before I sailed on non Army boats I didn’t realise boats had heating or furling jibs! Drink and snacks in the cockpit rounded off a perfect day.
