Battery Point

Grey sky again this morning saw us on the marina's crabbing purposed pontoon with our crabbing line and bucket. 🪣 Our bacon bait had woeful results, zero crabs, 🦀 The only thing our bucket saw being water awaiting vacant possession by crabs. On the plus side, we were close enough to Mokoko bakery to sample more croissants and coffee.
The afternoon again promised better weather, so we headed to Portishead Outdoor Pool for entertainment. The promise wasn't fully delivered and although it was a little chilly out of the water we had a splashing time. 🏊‍♀️
In the evening we gave it another go to see a mass hot air balloon 🎈 flight from a recommended vantage point on the A38, again the weather defeated the event. Then to cap it off fiesta road closures saw us going round in Bristol circles before finally finding an escape route.
We'll probably give the balloon festival another go with lessons learned from this trip.Read more
