Last night the wind became a lot stronger and we started moving on and off the harbour wall with an irregular but persistent banging that would waken anyone.  At 2:45 we put the larger rubber fenders in to no avail so at 3 am we were up again and the larger wheelbarrow tyres came into play.  Thank goodness they did the job perfectly and we were able to get back to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the morning Toby bravely phoned the Marina office to make sure that they sold cards that could be used for the pumpout at Galgate. They did so he walked round and bought two.  Just after he returned Colin and Jane set off and we made a quick decision and joined them for the locks back to the top of the Glasson Branch.  This required lots of power and a fairly sharp angle across the harbour to counter the strong wind.  The waves were worse than than the little ones we encountered on the Ribble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
