I made an early start today because David wanted to experiment backing Chyandour from the winding hole at Giggety Wharf to its home mooring. I met him by Houndel Bridge at 7.30am and, after winding, it only took us half an hour or so to work back home. This is a vast improvement over the 3 hours that it can take to go on to Hinksford and wind there.
So, I was safely moored up by 8.15am and unloading my gear into the car for a less sedate drive home.
The transition from 3 mph to 30 mph or more is quite remarkable although, because one is cocooned in a steel box, the effect is not quite so noticeable.
