Perfect timing to pass Portland Bill on an East going spring far enough out to clear the pot markers but inside the overalls as they started to develop.

Lower Eype to Rodwell, United Kingdom
Moira BARBER - sunset as we settled down for the night, in portland. I did not put the snubbed on correctly. so had to get up at 2.30am. with chain jumping. Also found windless not working, snubbed put back on and back to bed. rain and wind +++ all morning . so made bread. Had to pull anchor up, used leaver for last bit. Round to Weymouth, still rain and more rain to come.

Light winds mostly, Anchorage looks sheltered, minor swell. Anchor would not set initially so moved over and tried again. Seems to have set this time.

Starehole Bay to Dittisham, United Kingdom
Donald Heath - I anchored in Starehole bay in the pitch dark a couple of years ago for a rest en route to Plymouth. Was quite impressed with the view in the morning!

Started sailing nicely off the wind in a big roller sea but wind eased and had to motor most of the way. Wind against tide in Salcombe entrance - big rolling swell over bar.
