I was shocked to hear that Sir Chris Hoy has cancer this morning but apparently I knew back in February.

I'm off to watch grandson playing rugby this morning. It could be a tad damp & mucky 😂

Good morning from an overcast and windy Suffolk. We've not got the rain yet, but it's on its way.
Coffee has just been had and next up is a repeat of yesterday's snack packing, bottle of squash and flask of coffee making before heading back to Kent for day two of the Formula Ford Festival.

Well I had a boat that cost me north of £400 per month to park.

The campervan gets to hide in a barn for £50 a month.
Campervan sites in the UK can cost >£30 the UK and more

When I had boats I paid nothing and just laid my own mooring which varied from dinghy size to Westerly Centaur. Then unfortunately the Crown Estates got greedy and my cost rose to £30 per annum to lay my own mooring.
Not got recent experience of motorhome or camper sites but as a club member the cost was often about £12 or less on average. Storage cost me nothing but was outdoors.

Rain battering on my front windows as forecast.
Calmac were going to try a 0745 sailing from Craignure but all sailings depend on the projected weather for berthing at the destination end.
In the past I remember we used to wait and jill about in the Sound until a lull came and then make a dash to get in and secure before the next onslaught.
On one occasion when my wife was travelling to Helensburgh they went up round Lismore and then the train she was on vanished as the speed depended on two men with chainsaws walking in front to clear the tracks of fallen trees. No mobile signal either.
Not going down to look but the free campers are probably a bit worried. High tides and a SW gale means almost certain flooding of the car park. This is caused by the geography of the area with the wind pushing up the Sound and at the same time coming up the west side and holding the water in.

The weather forecast is horrible with all sorts of weather warnings but it's nice at the moment. I had been out for a perambulation. I see they're taking down the dangerous buildings in the main street so I had to modify my route.

I feel tired but might get a quick ride in now while the weather is nice.

The rain has arrived in Kent.
Lots of it.
