Ipswich - Thursday 18th August 2011 - Day 99
We shifted the boat in the morning to a more comfortable berth. With a lot of wind blowing onto the hammer head. We did a demonstration in the use of a back spring, to bring her into the wind and off the quay.
While I carried on blogging, Jack went for a walk along the river to Pin Mill which has a lot of boats from the old to the young and took advantage of a visit to the Butt and Oyster pub. When the tide came in, he informed the water was lapping near the entrance door step, so there is probably water in the beer cellar.
At night, we went back to the Buttermans marina bar and this time we got served with a meal done in the modern style. Piled high in the middle of a large plate with no drizzle. The pork loin meal though was excellent. From there went next door to the Royal Harwich yacht club which was in full swing with a teenagers disco. It was all very friendly and everyone appeared to have a great time. This quiet, relaxing day ended on a very happy note.
