Took the boat up to Mike Webb's workshop, where he has kindly squeezed it into a demanding schedule for repairs and the fitting of a much-needed skeg. Discovered that Justine and Barry have delivered their very robust trolley to Mike's, for my use on the rest of the trip. All this help, so generously given, is part of what makes sea kayaking such a pleasant sport.
Moved from the Outdoor Centre to stay at RAF Valley as a guest of Wing Cdr Sophy Gardner for a couple of days while I get the kit straightened out and the next leg of the trip planned. Sophy is great company, and another humbling example of a life lived to the full!

A bumper crop of updates today read with relish.
ReplyDeleteI've been following your remarkable travels with great pleasure. Your tales of the kindness of strangers, hard slog, the workings of tide and chance, gorgeous coastline and cultural references, compiled with a sharp eye and leavened with wit make for compelling reading. Many thanks
A few shillings on their way for your troubles, my enjoyment and your chosen cause.
great to see the weather has started favouring progress again, and the best of luck with your next stage... I hope you have good enough weather for crossing to the IoM once the boat is repaired.
ReplyDeleteAs always, the best of luck from all at York, or, as my generation would say "Respek".
