Normally, I'd head out of the marina straight away, even if only to Cosgrove. But today I stayed put for several reasons. I had a article which needed to be finished; there were Olympics to be watched; I have a boat test tomorrow morning, so I need to be close to the car; and the weather looked very changeable.
And changeable is the word. It was quite nice at first, then there was a torrential downpour at lunchtime. Most of the afternoon was sunny with blue skies, then just a couple of games before the end of Andy Murray's final, there was a tremendous thunder storm with rain so heavy that the satellite signal was completely knocked out. I temporarily had to resort to streaming on the BBC Sport website.
The sun has now come out again. There have been quite a few boats going by today. A few minutes ago, a boat headed out of the marina just as boats approached the entrance from both directions. One of them wanted to turn in, so there were a few moments of confusion as everyone tried to work out who was doing what, and who was going first. They all got where they were going eventually.
