Dinghy Days

We didn't really use the dinghy very much last year hence it's somewhat weather beaten and unloved appearance through much of 2014, however this year we have vowed that we are going to use it a lot more.

The first real outing for it will be to Wells next the Sea next week. If the weather is kind we will spend a day exploring the creeks and marshes and pottering about in the harbour before using the dinghy to get to "shore" in the Wash for a BBQ and a game of cricket on Roger Sands.

We also plan to take the dinghy on our summer holiday to the Fens in July. There should be ample chance to explore on the Fens with the little boat and again if the weather is kind will give us the chance to spend yet more time at anchor in the Wash exploring with the dinghy as we wait for tides.

We plan to visit York later in the year, a plan which was thwarted by the weather last year so we will have another go this year. Again we will take the dinghy as we will be spending time anchored up at Trent End and hopefully if we get the weather we will BBQ on the beach at Nun Monkton Pool. The dinghy being our taxi to shore once more.

It is a real shame that the dinghy and outboard are a tad on the large side for Naughty-Cal otherwise I'm sure we would take them out with us much more. But for now we are happy with what we have got so we will just have to muddle through and manage.
