I had planned an overnighter in company with Chris down the Bellarine peninsula. Best weather window Tuesday Wednesday. Anne had a specialist appointment which is usually punctual and over in half an hour so the plan was I would launch at Portarlington and meet Chris there. But the appointment was late, Anne had to get X-rays, come back for another consultation later in the day. I had to cancel.
I felt this was a bit poor so to try and find some redemption I got up early and headed out to meet Chris returning to Werribee South. It was grey and foggy but eventually I spotted his sail and we met up, only for the wind to die away. We rowed for a while, then Chris offered me a tow with his Torqeedo.
It was good to get out. I really enjoyed the first bit, solo, in the gloom, with flocks of seabirds circling round, and a bit of wind.
Scamp plans turned up today. If this one gets built it will be #645 ... seems like a nice number to me.
