Light winds to start but cold wind as it was in the North. A calm sea with long rolling waves. Sunny & dry. Motor sailed with the Genoa. Once nearing St Helier the wind picked up to 16+ knots typically.

A leisurely motor round to Petit Port. Calm sea, but grey & dreary with a NE cold wind. Drooped the anchor. Beautifully quiet after the hustle & bustle of St Peter Port

Very light winds although F3 was forecast. Calm sea and hot. The worst was the flies covering the boat and us ! Yuk. Rafted in St Peter Port and mega hot ! 🥵

A calm sea to start. Then long rolling waves. F3/4 sailing.

After the previous 48 hours of Strong F6 winds and moderate seas, the wind calmed last night enabling us to leave. A slight sea and F4 winds with wind SSE it was very pleasant until we got to Selsey Bill where against the tide the sea state became moderate and white horses everywhere. Into East Head, sails away and anchored.

It was a very icy cold start with a moderate sea and very lumpy all the way to Dover. The wind was 20-26 knots constant. A horrid start. Once past Dover the sun came out and warmed us a little. Billy & Bobby were very good as it was the first proper sail. A much better second half with winds 10-12 knots and a calmer sea.

13 knots NW wind. Met a ship negotiating the bends in the River at Pin Mill. Very quiet otherwise. Moored up into our berth at our home Marina

A Washing machine journey to Dover with a very moderate sea and very lumpy. Winds 20+ knots on the stern until Dover. Then on the beam. The sea state calmed a little near Ramsgate. Arrived at Pin Mill in the dark and picked up a mooring buoy

Left East Head in grey and very wet conditions. The weather forecast was correct and we had heavy rain with a flat sea. Approaching Beachy Head it started to dry up and the sun came out although looming black clouds. Through the locks. Refuelled at £1.50/L and into a berth and sunshine

Left in very dense fog and had only 1 boat length of visibility all the way through Neil 2pm and nearing the IOW. Appalling conditions, but it was warm. Happy we had both Radar and AIS to show us where the ships/boats were as there was nothing to physically be seen.
