Early start from Cowes only turned on sail tied at South Bramble. I was cooking breakfast - scrambled eggs smoked salmon and sauté mushrooms with home made bread. 

Great voyage taking the route through the submarine barrier.

Peter Lawrence, Stewart Scott and Graham Sykes. Sailed under Cruising Chute alone to Horse Sands Fort. Hoisted early in Chichester harbour just out of Swire Deep. 
Dropped Cruising Chute hoisted Main 1xreef No 2 Jib. Across to Gillkicker Point on up towards Hamble Point then turned towards Cowes. Great fun learning radar techniques. Avoided many big boats! Attempted a three point fix by radar - needs practice.

Stewart Scott, Chris Tarling and Graham Sykes sailed to Hasler but didn’t log it and back to Northney. UsedCruising Chute in both directions. Outward bound we used the small ships channel through the submarine barrier. Returning we went to blind navigation between Horse Sands Fort and West Pole. Brilliant exercise for both Stewart who was navigating and Graham on the helm. Followed 5m contour.
