Formerly a Laser sailor, then Kingfisher 20 and this year I’ve acquired a Sadler 26.
Better wind than I expected so my early start was a disadvantage in the end, as I ran out of water off Starcross pier. But a lovely sail home.

Blackstone Point to Starcross, United Kingdom
Derek Hathaway - Should have joined me in Anstys for a break and a swim! 🤪

Light and variable to start with, then by 11 am settling into a SSE force 2, rising to force 4 SSW shortly after. So a slow first half and then a lovely quick beat to the Dart. As I went southwards past the Ore Stone, Tela was sailing north on her final leg back from the Outer Hebrides.

Starcross to Dittisham, United Kingdom
Chris Southwell - Not sure yet. I have to be back by Monday, so I might wander around the Dart on Saturday then to Brixham on Sunday for a crab sandwich and the Exe on Monday. Or possibly all the way back from the Dart on Sunday. The westerlies seem settled in now so getting back ought to be fairly quick.

Early start, round a very placid Portland Bill then a relaxing sail to Lyme Regis.

Brownsea Island to Lyme Regis, United Kingdom
Pretty straightforward until the end, I’d underestimated the southward setting succulent in Poole Bay

Bought in October, launched in April then trapped in a mud berth for weeks. Now finally on her way.
