Morning mooring practise then sailed out to Osborne bay. Completed an anchor under sail, then sail recovery of anchor. Very good sail to Gosport, force 7 SE against tide created some choppy sea and big waves. I really enjoyed helming through the waves even if I did have a few water baths en route. Came in to Gosport under sail, main centered and sailed on head sail. Used small area west of channel in the harbour to drop sails.
