Mad day yesterday.
Weather was good, so I decided to go boating.
So biggest kid then tells me its teacher training day.
Decided to go boating anyhow.
Managed to land on what he calls Thunder Island.
They have put a huge fence all the way along the beach, so hammocking here would be a no no.
This island has deer, so I would have thought that a 10ft wire fence would play havoc for them when they swim over.
Ive some pics, but havent uploaded them. Tell me if you would be interested in seeing them.

Sailed to the park we hammock in.
Parked the boat on the beach. We were both cold, so we had toasted cheese and tomato sandwidches in the cafe before heading back.
I like sailing.
There is this argument going on. The wind hits the sails and tries to push the boat sideways. The bit stuck out the bottom tries to stop the wind pushing the boat sideways through the water. To stop the wind blowing the boat over, you hang off the side.
Trying to balance this lot is like trying to hang onto a scramble bike in a power slide
...only, yesterday that slide was 5 hours long.
Got back with my knuckles dragging along the ground from hanging onto the rope that keep sthe sail pointed the right way.
Not sure what I did to my knee, back - oh dear.....
Had to get some medication
Luckily, the local shop stocks Bells.
Was pretty sure I would seize up during the night, so I didnt dare pass out in the hammock as I would be hard pressed to get back out in the morning.
Felt strange sleeping in the house.
Normal service will be resumed shortly....
