Waiting in Great Yarmouth and planning our sea voyage to Paxton on the Paxton Princess by amusing ourselves bowling and eating out as the weather was looking better for the next day. NATO leaders, have proposed a joint peace declaration with the Warsaw Pact to formally end a decade of East-West hostility.

British Airways are ordering from Boeing, but they are also ordering Rolls Royce engines worth £600m and considering the Airbus A-330 for the next generation. A bomb was found outside the El Al building in Regents Street, Arthur Scargill maintains that the miners' money is intact and there are now 4,500 Albanian refugees in western embassies

Steve Bloom was the first up and had gone off in search of some bacon for breakfast with no success. I was awoken by the Town Hall clock chiming 7.00am and got washed, shaved and dressed whilst he was away and then went off with him again around the shops when they opened at 8.00am and got the supplies. We called back and listened to the 8.35am Bacton Radio weather forecast which was not good enough for us to leave for Wells this morning and so we took the boys to Tooks and all had a nice breakfast there which saved a lot of trouble. For the rest of the morning we paired up in two's and Dan and Jase went off to the amusements whilst we went around the shops.

At lunchtime, I called up the coastguard for a chat but found that the wind had not really come round from the North yet and was still fresh with a northerly swell and cruising time was short and so I decided against the trip to Blakeney which would have been the only one we could have made today. This left the rest of the day for more shopping and fun in Great Yarmouth. We all went together to a bowling alley and played as a foursome with Steve and I beating Jason and Daniel in a closely fought match. I also bought a video player for the boat and then, this evening, I took Steve out for a meal. The fish restaurant that we fancied was closed and we spent ages walking around before settling for one of the places close to the pier. It was a very good meal and only cost £14.10. We got back to the boat for 10.30pm to find the boys waiting for us and then we all got to bed ahead of tomorrow as the weather looked to be clearing up.

NATO leaders, completing a two-day meeting in London, have proposed a joint peace declaration with the Warsaw Pact to formally end a decade of East-West hostility. British Airways are spurning European Airbus by placing their largest order ever with Boeing, but they are ordering Rolls Royce engines for them worth £600m and considering the Airbus A-330 for the next generation. A bomb was found outside the El Al building in Regents Street, London, and Arab terrorists are suspected. Arthur Scargill maintains that the miners' money is intact and denies that he has "had his hand in the till". There are now 4,500 Albanian refugees in western embassies and the situation is getting out of hand. The Bulgarian President, Petar Mladenov, has resigned after it was revealed that he wanted to use tanks to suppress the pro-democracy movement last December.
