Messing About In Boats

The world and his children seemed to be taking to the waves in boats of all kinds today.

From tiny tots in life preservers rather bigger than they were to grandma hitching up her skirts to climb over the gunwale. The Spanish Armada was being reformed here today.

The sea is beautifully warm and medusa free, so a good long dip was called for in the early evening. But you had to be careful not to be clouted over the head by an oar.
