Left the HNYC moorings just before 6AM, I had moved Louisa to a swinging mooring the evening before. I only saw a couple of other boats on my way to Queenborough, they were heading up stream. I turned at Queenborough all tide landing at 9AM. The wind had been a very pleasant F3 WSW breeze. On the way back the wind increased to F4 with very occasional gusts. The only fly in the ointment was the 15 or so MYC boats, all looking grumpy, and sailing or motoring back to their moorings. I was back on my mooring by midday. Back in time to remove the boom and sort the boat out. After the frustrations of trying to rig a new topping lift, this was a very welcome break.
