Jubilee Rain on the way to Portsmouth

After filling up with roast beef and Yorkshire Pudding we left Oxford in the pouring rain to drive to Portsmouth to catch the ferry to Bilboa. I say catch the ferry, I have been billing it as a two night mini cruise but Mark assures me it will be nothing like our cruise to Alaska! Anyhow it's a boat, we're sailing and it's the beginning of our holiday and I have provisions in the new cool box!
