Braye to Pompey

Early start and wind was already blowing westerly 5 and a bit overcast set sail from inside the harbour. After a couple of hours the sun joined us which made for a very pleasant sail. The wind gods were very kind to us and managed to sail all the way to #4 PHM epic!

St Helier to Carteret

Keen to break out of Jersey having been stuck for 4 days conditions were very calm and no wind so a simple drive across to France. A bit of drizzle but thankfully the sun came out as we moored up 👍

Ian Willcock - I use to apply the same concept to winter mountaineering, if the weather turns narly go down. The mountain isn’t going anywhere you can always climb it another day

Gosport to Cherbourg

Early start at 0500 started off with a good NW’ly and made good passage for 5 hours until it vanished. Donkey on for a few hours got us past the shipping nicely though. Then breeze came back from the west so back sailing again. It of course died again a couple of hours later. A fun day!
