The cruise on a rainy day that was not too cold from Oulton Broad via the Waveney Inn to swim at the Nordic Centre and then back to Yarmouth under the Haven Bridge to moor at the Town Quay. Tea at the Pizza Hut, and then bowling afterwards before late to be aboard.
A much quieter night after all of the bad weather. It was still raining but at least the wind had died down and it was not quite so cold. The tidal rise and fall was quite large at about four feet as the north wind had been holding up the Broads levels again. A slow start this morning as I read a bit more of my book on Horning and then I let Di go shopping and the girls go to lay on the play equipment as I checked the engine oil levels and greased the shafts. After filling up with drinking water and diesel fuel, we decided to set off back and made it to the Waveney Inn for a bar snack lunch.

An energetic afternoon swimming at the Nordic Centre and then back on board for the trip back down to Yarmouth. The day had been a lot better until then, but the rain started and then got heavier as the journey continued until I was quite soaked when we went under the Haven Bridge to moor at the Town Quay. I took time to moor up safely and securely and then we donned our wet things and walked into the town centre for tea at the Pizza Hut and then bowling afterwards. This time, I worked out handicaps and this gave us all a chance so that Della ended up winning. Our clothes had dried by this time and the rain had stopped for the walk back to the quay, but it was well after 11.00pm before we got the girls to bed and even later before I had updated my journal and joined Diana in bed as well.
