12-13 March 2026 Poole

Sat on the docks for 4 hours watching people and their weird view on life going for a coffee at boarding time and holding loading up driving up to the ship with a young babby on the driver’s knees? I got loaded and had tea just a soup and a thousand cakes. Very bad weather the ship was rocking and rolling all night. At 5.05 in the morning photo of my digital clock displaying an SOS.

The cabins.

After leaving the Bay of Biscay the wind and waves were  coming from behind us so not to bad. Lots of coffee and cake today and a soup before leaving the ship for the drive down to Poole tonight will get to the site about 2230 I think. Got held up on the ship managed to get to the campsite 0030 bad weather, road works rain and floods o heck.

Caught the bus into town met a lovely couple and sat having a chat over coffee in Poole. One thing that changes every time I come is the Yarn Bombing.

Did some shopping then another cycle down to Poole docks to see the Twin Sails bridge that has been left open for a long time due to it been closed for 5 months.

Just bumped into a couple I met in Harrogate my friends say once seen never forgotten EH! they recognised me (The picture man)
