Strong WNW wind, struggled to pick up buoy and nearly lost boat hook. Retrieved by a passing rib. Rival 36 on her way out ran aground behind us (blown onto bank) but we were able to help pull her off. Didn't stop Sailties recording when we were secure so average speed is showing much lower that actual.

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.

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.
