Rough & wet dinghy ride to get ashore to return the hire car #BoatRefit #BoatLife

After one night afloat it was time to go ashore and return the hire car, it was also the last chance to take stuff to our storage container. We are on a mooring in Beumaris Bay and the wind has peaked at over 40knots today, when I left it was also wind against tide, making the waves steep and short. We are now living aboard our Rival 38 Centre Cockpit full-time while finishing a refit. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.page/ Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).
