Tiddler goes to Wareham.

 

Friday was another scorcher so we decided not to waste it.

We launched at 2:30 ish and headed up the Wareham channel.

With a 12 mph easterly and only a 13 foot boat I thought that going outside the harbour was probably not a good idea. ( I did point out that if we had a Barracuda it would be fine ) 

We headed towards Wareham at a leisurely pace. When we reached the river entrance we were plagued by biting, blood sucking flies. I looked on line and thought they looked like Blandford Flies but we've not come up in lumps so probably not !

We got to the quay, lowered the rod tubes and carried on up stream . . . . . Past everyone's favourite big house. We went all the way to the bypass before turning back.

We stopped at the quay and Jacqui bought us an ice cream.

When we left we were against the breeze so no problem with flies.

After a while I nagged at Jacqui to take the helm ( she's done the level 2 ) but with it being so rare that we go out she loses her confidence. We went outside of the harbour and although it wasn't a problem for Tiddler it just makes it uncomfortable so we turned back. Jacqui was in charge until we were nearly back to the launching area and it got very busy.

We had no rods with us so it was just a " Jolly "

And very nice it was too. :)

Neil, I like the Parker.

Jacqui doesn't.

I had to force her onto a Barracuda7 cos she didn't like the look of it. but she was very impressed by the stability.

She's still not nodding her head yet though ! :)

 

Mick, I do enjoy a beer or five ( seven ) but not when I'm driving or boating.

Ice cream's just Luuuuuuuuuuvly.
