Idid say we were leaving today and I have paid

Well the trip started, or rather didn't on Friday morning 20th April. We did manage to get away on Friday but were delayed In Conwy Marina as someone had left a Dredger tied across the marina!  We had paid until Friday morning and told them we were definately leaving but they seemed to forget. We were blocked in and told we'd have to pay for another night if we stayed.  After some gritting of teeth pointing out we did want to leave, we had informed the marina of our departure date, why were they a little suprised at my somewhat ascertive demands that they untie the rope on the Dredger to let us through.  After a wait of an hour or so they marina staff found "a window of opportunity" to let us out!

After this false start we set off for the IOM now aiming at Port St Mary in stead of Peel.  We arrived at just after midnight having set off from Conwy at 1.30pm.
