First Strait run with the littluns.
Upgraded from the 2.5m Avon on the Dee to the big daddy 6.3 Humber on the Strait. Work booked off, picnic packed and set off very tentatively at 10am. Could easily have been 10 mins and "can we get off now" from the 3 and 5 yr old. Suffice to say, finally got back to the mooring at 3pm with one asleep. Perfect!
