Ahoy me hearties!
Just to say we're still stuck in Dover - bit like Hotel California - once you arrive you don't leave!
This is all because of the winds being against our Channel crossing - two weather systems fighting one another with the low winning at the moment. This is hopefully changing by Friday so reckon we'll be here a couple of days yet. I'll continue to work on the tan on our aft deck!
The marina itself is lovely, the seafront is lovely, as is the Castle, but the town itself is pretty dire. The only good things are an M&S and a lovely bar/bistro (Cullins).
We've met some nice people doing interesting things: one couple aboard yacht "Bluebottle" is sailing around Britain but is equally stuck in Dover en route to the East Coast. Another couple were going West and crossing the Channel to Cherbourg and onwards to the Biscay - not for the feint-hearted!
So that's it so far ... until the next update - over & out!
F&M
