Baaaa humbug.
Great day out with the canoe clubs antidote to Xmas shopping.
A trip to Flamborough on the north sea.
The new boat found its place in life , going from a lumbering hard to turn vessel on a fast flowing river to an easy to control boat on the sea.
The chap i went with made the mistake of eating a sandwich prior to setting sail, nice sea swell and after 30 minutes he was green.
The sea was very enjoyable as we nipped in and out of the caves on the coast, punctuated by a stop at a cove to have a picnic (no deckchairs for rent though).
Was it cold ? The only time i was cold was when i was out of the boat at the start , picnic and end.
After lunch we headed out onto some waves and enjoyed the surf.
No one believed me when i told them the sea was rougher around Ibiza in September when i hired a boat.(see previous posts) but it was.
It was somewhat warmer though in Spain.
So what else is happening, fund raising is going well( event though on line shows nil) , lets not forget what all this fun's about.
The object of all this is to raise funds for Bliss who are the premature baby Charity , as a thank you for my sons life. As he sits by the side of me i think back 4 Chrismasses ago when he lay in a incubator hooked up to monitors where he stayed for some months , and my days were filled with day after day sat in hospital watching the saturation levels of oxygen in his lungs.
Merry Humbug to you all.
