My wife, Sue, and I went to Harwich on the first weekend of her visit there. The forecast was for rain, but it stayed away until we had left. The crowds were thin, and we could have queued for a short while and gone aboard, but decided to stick with taking some external photos and checking out the souvenir stand.

We bought an expensive CD of Endeavour inspired music, which we have greatly enjoyed playing ever since. I was expecting something marine with hornpipes, but it's not like that at all.
We bumped into CCS member Ken Hermon, who had just finished a spell on board acting as a guide.
