It's nice to be back in Swanage, such a quiet place, best nights sleep I've had in ages. Unfortunately Nicky couldn't say the same and was up most of the night. It's certainly noticably colder and damper recently , my fingers ache in the morning when I get up, (arthritis I think) Spent some time today emptying the boat of all it's soft furnishings in an attempt to beat the mould. There are a couple of wet spots in the boat so have to trace back where the leaks are, more tasks for the winter months. The wind certainly sounds stronger than the forecast 12mph
Inshore waters forecast is 6-7 poss 8 tonight.
