Motoring all the way with hardly any wind. Had the Genoa up for some of the time but more decorative than helpful. When we passed Cowes the rain came down with a vengeance, accompanied by thunder and lightning. Still, a good weekend was had. Another successful WOA rally.

Only a short hop but sunshine, 16knots of NW, and a lovely close reach all the way into Portsmouth. Good reminder of how enjoyable sailing can be.

No wind to speak of but beautiful sunshine. Motorsailing most of this very short hop. Warsash Sailing Club Rally. Very busy Duver Marina, rafting 4 deep.

Virtually no wind until we got into Portsmouth Harbour and didn't need it anymore.

Early start at 6am as we had to catch the last of the tide going East through the Hurst Narrows. Nice NW to start with but after an hour the engine came back on.

Pleasant passage with some sailing and some motor sailing. Picked up eco buoy in Studland Bay. Beautifully quiet and peaceful here now that the dreaded jet ski people have gone home. Lovely sunset.

Nice three hour sail in the morning then the wind died and the Bukh came on. Hot day even on the water.

Short sail to Brixham. Spotted £140 million superyacht Havanna in Dartmouth Harbour. Surreal.
