Lady Martina was equal to the torrential downpour of rain last night, keeping her occupants berths dry. Today we went by bus to Great Yarmouth and on by taxi to the Marina Centre where we avoided the weather by swimming in the heated pool complex after which I took Daniel to the cinema and I the girls to the children’s play places before watching the carnival. A quiet evening aboard in a cool wind with sharp showers
I slept okay but the night was interrupted with a torrential downpour of rain that had me scampering around with a torch to see how waterproof The Lady was. In fact, my evening’s work sealing cracks had been a good job and the bunks were dry. Once our morning routine was over, we set off bravely in the wind and rain by bus to the centre of Great Yarmouth and on by taxi to the Marina Centre, where we avoided the weather by swimming in the heated pool complex.

The building was very busy with visitors and they started ‘sessions’ to ration its use soon after we got there. We enjoyed it and, upon emerging, the weather was still foul and so we went to the local restaurant for lunch. I fell out with the girls over their table manners and Debbie ended up in tears. Then I went with Daniel to see the latest James Bond film ‘Licence to Kill’ (which we thoroughly enjoyed) before going back to The Lady and filling up with water and fuel before the girls arrived back. They had been to a few of the children’s play-places and watched the carnival before coming back. We had tea of drinks and sandwiches at the boat and then spent a quiet evening reading and keeping out of the strong cool wind and regular sharp showers but this did not deter the girls from playing in the nearby children’s play area
