Ready for Winter
Wye Invader Two moves from her mooring into Sharpness docks to wait until 'lift-out' for the Winter.
Autumn on the Sharpness Canal
Short run out from Sharpness to Saul Junction to top up fuel, weather outwards was a bit windy and a little on the cold side, the run back in the Autumn sunshine was spectacular with the leaves turning golden brown. Highlight of the day was the guy in Saul Junction Marina who shouted "I've seen you on the Internet" - Good to know someone actually reads this website!
20 / 21 / 22 / 23 September with Wye Invader Two
The first of what I think was probably an Autumn Gale, well that’s what it felt like!
The plan:
Sharpness Marina > Gloucester >Tewkesbury then return to Gloucester on Saturday, and back to Sharpness on Sunday.
Weather Outlook:
Sunshine and the occasional shower and wind gusts between 20 and 30 miles per hour in the River Severn Estuary.
