Brighton Marina Village to St Anthony's Hill, United Kingdom
Hairy passage with up to 30knots wind over tide most of the passage. Reefed Genoa only but still hitting speeds of over 10 knots at times. Entry into Brighton pretty awful with wind hitting 30knots and only LW+2 but all OK. The large G&T afterwards was most welcome.
