It sometimes rains in Holyhead. It did when we arrived.
Holyhead Marina berth E29 doesn't have electricity or piped water. We needed both if we (Jean) was going to jet-wash the deck while I dried out my socks over the fan heater.
A man at the office said we'd be fine if we had a 100 metre extension lead. We didn't.
We decided to move.
Holyhead berth E29 to Holyhead berth D22 involved only my second solo voyage in the 6 years we've had our Albatross. According to the BBC there might be a weather window around 10 hundred hours, the tide was favourable and the chart work not unduly complicated, so we decided to go for it.
We checked through the passage plan, simplified our warps, adjusted the fenders, and cast off.
Jean opted for the healthy option and walked.
Two minutes later Jean took my lines as Albatross slipped into her new and fully-serviced berth.
Albatross safely berthed (No, not the police boat, the white boat with the white hull, left middle).
Later that day, Jean did wash the deck and I did dry my socks.
After such excitement, we are now back home again.
