We moved to Chelmondiston in late March, but it has taken until today to enjoy a first sail with the two dogs. This we managed over high water this afternoon!

More sailing in company, May 16
Following yesterday’s sail, we were joined by Rita May for more sailing in company. Winds were northerly and quite unforgiving, gusting F5/6 at times, and the Orwell was plenty bumpy enough for us not to consider going elsewhere. So we worked our way upstream and had a pleasant lunch stop on the shore opposite Freston. It wasn’t really filming weather but we managed a few snaps of the four boats at lunch!

Jimbo and Amazon come to play!
Jimbo and Amazon came over to Suffolk Yacht Harbour for a few days of sailing. I popped down to help them launch and enjoy a short sail with Amazon.
Winds were a little gusty at times and Daisy IV had a modest double reef in the main, which still helped her pootle along at some speed - up to 5 knots against the tide and well over 6 knots with the tide.
Hopefully, some more sailing tomorrow.

New season, new location
…although, actually not so new. Daisy IV is now on a mooring at Pin Mill, which is where Daisy II spent many a happy season about 10 years ago. The difference is that we now live just up the hill in Chelmondiston - a short walk rather than a 90 minute road trip!

Daisy IV thus far has indulged in short trips up and down the River Orwell. This post is just a 'catch-up' to place those on the record.
