Meet Hugo our harbour hoover…

The tide’s fairly high so plenty of water to fit the WidWed theme of water.

And to also fit the theme of water here is a naval saying for today.

What is the origin of the phrase going round the bend?
The phrase is of 19th Century naval origin, and one theory says that it refers to the journey to, or from, the island now known as Telegraph Island – reached from India by means of a looping, bending route through the Strait of Hormuz and along a mountain-flanked inlet.
