A rolly night at anchor off Holme, so we took it in turns to check the anchor every hour. By 4am it was low water and we were sheltered behind sand bars and could get some sleep. At 11:00 the wind started to fill in, light at first but growing to a steady 8 knots, so we lifted the anchor and headed in closer to shore to launch from the beach.
The wind dropped a couple of times with each kiter taking it in turns to watch their kites slowly float to the ground. With light winds and a tide in the same direction we were unable to relaunch without the help of Oscar in the dinghy, putting all that kite launch training to good use.
About 2hours in, just outside Wells-next-the-Sea, Stew went in a little too close and hit the sand bar outside the harbour entrace. There was a sudden yell followed by gurgling noises as he went head first into the water board stuck upright in the mud behind him, sending Joe and Islay into fits of giggles as he sheepishly admitted what had happened. Luckily due to the sandy bottom, no damage was done, but he did have to call out the screwdriver to tighten his footstraps which had come loose.
After another hour we were getting hungry, so a plan was made to deploy the dinghy on a long line out the back of Mentor and have Oscar pass us food. Islay managed to land on the side of the dinghy gracefullyk balancing the board and kite as she ate a couple of biscuits and a banana. When Stew tried he missed the side and had to hold on whilst Oscar passed over the food.
That gave us enough energy to make it to Clay-next-the-Sea, a steeply shelving pebbled beach with a group of metal detectors combing the beach for treasure. After a quick rest we carried on until the wind dropped and both kites needed rescuing.

<insert picture of jelly bean soup>
We have water bladders on our buoyancy aids so we can drink, but hadn’t worked out yet what we could carry that would still be edible after being dunked in sea water. (There had been some disasterous attempts at jelly beans and snickers that turned into ‘soup’ in their little baggies).
