The forecast wind certainly arrived overnight, giving us a very broken night with loads of bumping and banging around the place. We finally decided to get up at half six or so, and by half seven were ready for the final finishing off stuff to be done, re-fixing the centreline fairleads, the klaxon and the cabin hooks for the rear doors.
The wind continued to gust ferociously, and I was quite worried about the prospect of trying to manoeuvre in it, but in the event all went well. We've come down onto a mooring on the Deeps which is quite quiet just now. It's certainly a relief to get out into the daylight again, even if it's very overcast, gusty, blustery daylight.
This afternoon, we went and hung around the Trading Post, chatting to Jayne and Stephen before they completed the paperwork for the handing over of Dolce Far Niente and started to move their stuff on board. Eileen and Bill had an Ocado delivery booked, so we gave them a hand with that when it arrived.
We're all going down to the Boar's Head for a meal tonight (the excuse is that Jayne doesn't want to cook on her first night on board, and we've all invited ourselves along too).
It's scheduled to be another pretty grotty day tomorrow, weatherwise, so we'll spend a fair bit of time lurking indoors, I suspect, though a shopping trip will have to be fitted in at some point.
