The cruise from Horning to Stokesby on the warmest day so far, with daytime temperatures in the low 90's. With keeping the canopy top up and the sides down, we were thankful for the breeze.
Finding space at Stokesby, we ordered a poor lunch at The Ferry Inn and slept on board as soon as it was cool enough.

We slept so soundly that it was around 8.20am that we were awoken from a deep sleep by Freda telephoning with more news of developments at Redgrave Stores where the baker's roundsman had also indicated an interest in taking over the shop.

A challenging day with meetings concerning the future of Redgrave and then working on the shop finances, taking lunch at the pub and contacting Sarah about joining us as manager.
Then driving on to Norfolk, having dinner at The New Inn and settling down to sleep on The Paxton Princess.
Although we had set the alarm clock for 7.00am and then got the tea then, it was after 7.30am by the time we had woken up and planned our day and this already meant that we were going to be quite late for our plans in Redgrave.
