closing out the season

Its getting really close to the end of the season.... no sailing this weekend as its C's birthday, and we have a house full of kids.....But next weekend we have a laying up supper at Bradwell, and also have the Thu/Fri and Mon/Tue off work, so hopefully, weather permitting, we'll get a few a chance to go hide away somewhere for a few days.... we are hoping to find a quiet anchorage and just sit and chill a bit...Boat comes out on 5th Nov, so we may have another weekeend before she's lifted, but suspect that'll be used to start the depressing process of emptying the boat for her winter layup...
