EACC Autumn Cruise - Day 1

Saturday, 30th September 2023

Wind SW 5mph                     Some sun, some cloud                                 Temp 21°C

Distance travelled 7.12 miles

A late decision to attend the EACC Autumn Cruise. With Mrs Crew incapacitated we decided that we would motor to Barton. Left our mooring about 10:30 and motored, with coffee, to the Ant. With her one good hand, Mrs Crew took the helm while I dropped the mast ready for Ludham Bridge. Once through, she again took the helm while I raised the mast. Uneventful passage up the Ant to reach the Punt Club pontoons, our base for the next 24 hrs.

One we were secure alongside I hosed the goose deposits off the pontoons ready for the arrival of the other boats. A very convivial afternoon and evening with fellow club sailors. I completed fixing of our self-tacking jib. Light rain showers on and off throughout the evening. We both slept intermittently, disturbed by the slap, slap of the water, the rocking boat and the movement of the burgee in the fresh overnight breeze.

Working on part 2 of Chapter 2 and just had a rather glorious little moment.

Mild to Moderate Spoilers for Chapter 2 Part 2 below:

So, I'm working on a scene where Aveza and Osmund first show up (they've previously appeared in the reacts if the names sound familiar, and their farm is mentioned in the prologue and chapter 1). They're both out at Skey's farm, and I needed them to be running a delivery into town, so I say to myself a farmer's probably going to be doing quite a lot of bussiness with the baker, right?

If you all remember that Excel document I put up a preview of months ago, the one with all the characters who lived in the town, their professions, genders, names, relationships, etc. Well I was pretty certain I'd put a baker in there somewhere, so I check and lo and behold I have two bakers. Rufus Ludham, and Joyce Eke.

Now some of you may come across Joyce in your playthroughs as she is the aunt of Sybil and Samuel, who play with the Child when A and the Main Character walk the children home after cobtide. And you'll likely run into more of the Ludhams as well in later parts of the story as they're quite heavily involved in the Scrivener's profession.

And on and on and on the web of relationships goes!

And that is the glorious thing! Through one little act of logic I have all these interpersonal little stories just waiting to be told, and it genuinely feels like peeling back the layers on a real little town!

...

I'm getting excited about spreadsheets again, aren't I? 😅

‘Land Drakes’

“Dragons are often associated in many people's minds with the landscape and being representative of the energies contained within it, and East Anglia is not without its own dragon tales as well. This story, which happened in 1405, comes from the Suffolk/Essex border town of Bures St. Mary and is left to us in monkish Latin by John de Trokelowe and Henry de Blandforde. They describe a creature 'vast in body, with a tufted head, saw-like teeth and a very long tail, which did evil by going to and fro among the sheep and killing many.’ The bowmen of Richard de Waldergrave, on whose land the dragon lurked, moved out to confront it but the body of the beast turned the arrows aside and they sprang back from its armour, 'as if from stone or iron; and those arrows which fell on the spine of its back glanced off again and sprang away with clangings as if they had struck plates of bronze.' But when the dragon saw that the men were advancing once more, 'it took refuge in the mere and hid among the reeds; nor was it any more seen.’

A fearsome, winged dragon once terrified the inhabitants of Ludham in Norfolk by appearing in the village each night, so that none dared to venture out after darkness had fallen. Each morning, after the drake had returned to its lair, the villagers filled up the entrance with stones and bricks, but these failed to stop the beast from making its nightly sorties. One afternoon, the villagers were horrified on seeing the dragon emerging from its burrow. When it had travelled some way away, a brave, strong man rolled a single round stone into the entrance of the lair, completely stopping it up. After basking in the warm sunshine, the dragon made its way home, only to find its way inside totally blocked. Finding it impossible for it to move the stone it left, lashing its tail in fury and bellowing loudly, over the fields towards the Bishop's palace. There, it passed along the causeway to the ruined Abbey of St. Bene't, where it slid under the great archway and disappeared into the vaults underneath. After some time, its former home was filled in and the people of Ludham were never troubled again, the dragon never more appearing.

Finally on this subject, among the MSS in the Library of the Dean and Chapter at Canterbury is the Warden's small, leather-bound book, in which the following story appears; ‘. . . on Friday the 26th September in the year of Our Lord 1449, about the hour of Vespers, two terrible Dragons were seen fighting for about the space of one hour, on two hills, of which one, in Suffolk, is called Kydyndon Hyl and the other in Essex Blacdon Hyl. One was black in colour and the other reddish and spotted. After a long conflict the reddish one obtained the victory over the black, which done, both returned into the hills above named whence they had come, that is to say, each to his own place to the admiration of many beholding them.' Kydyndon Hyl is now known as Killingdon Hill at Kedington on the Suffolk side of the river Stour, whilst Blacdon Hyl, opposite in Essex, is now known as Ballingdon Hall. A mile separates them. On the banks of the Stour, below Killingdon Hill and between it and Ballingdon Hill, is a large marshy meadow, locally known as ‘Sharpfight Meadow', probable scene of the battle.

Although this is a very small sample of East Anglian Dragon tales, it is interesting to see how closely each of these beasts is associated with a landscape feature or features; hills, meadows, old ruins, rivers, etc. and how well they bear out the persistent association of them with geomantic energies. In other regions, magical practitioners describe these energies in terms of Serpents, Snakes, ‘Worms' and Lizards, but they all contain the same essential import; these animals are the embodiment of the natural, telluric currents that flow through the land and may be made use of by the witch or folk-magician, having sufficient knowledge and expertise. The lay of the land, its character, gentleness or otherwise, contributes to the character of the residing 'dragon' and hence the qualities of the energies available there. These are embedded in the old tales and are there as pointers and guides for subsequent practitioners to make use of.”

Barton Day 3

Thursday, 10th August 2023

Wind Nil & then E 15mph        Light cloud with occasional sun                 Temp 26°C

Distance sailed 9.35 miles

A peaceful night. Awoke to light cloud but early warmth. A leisurely start to the day and did not make ready to depart until 10:00. Pressed the start button for the engine. Silence. Tried again and the fuse blew. Replaced the fuse with my last remaining fuse and tried again. Still nothing.Tried to contact our engineer but without success. Walked around to Cox’s Boatyard to see if they had an engineer on site. They did and he fairly quickly found the problem - a faulty solenoid connection. We asked him if he could replace and encapsulate our wiring later in the season. We now await a date.

With our engine running we motored over to the water point and topped up our tank. Then by engine (there was no wind) across Barton Broad to the River Ant. Three quarters of the way across the Broad our engine alarm sounded. I increased revs and it went off. A short way down the Ant the same thing happened. I increased revs again. It got to the point where we were travelling far too fast but I could not slow the engine

 without the alarm sounding. Stopped at How Hill to have lunch and allow the engine to cool. 

Set off for Ludham Bridge and encountered the same problem. Managed to get through the bridge and stopped again at St Benet’s to allow the engine to cool and to raise our mast. There was a very stiff sea breeze so we would be able to sail home from here. Raised sail in the mouth of Fleet Dyke and had a lively beat down to Thurne Mouth and then a broad reach up the Thurne. Dropped sail opposite the club moorings and motored down a very congested Thurne Dyke to unload. Motored back to our mooring with no problem encountered. Our engineer is visiting tomorrow.

Footnote: Engineer visited and replaced the sender with another one recommended by Tanya from Brian Ward Electrical. We tested it for 40 minutes and, fingers crossed, it appears to have done the trick. We shall find out tomorrow.
