A spicy sail to Southend and back

First couple of hours were a nice 15kts of wind behind us, cruised across to Southend under genoa only. Then upwind all the way home, 8kts under a reefed genoa only! Quite remarkable!

Quick squizz at Monaco

Surprisingly rolly! Gentle but persistent swell coming in from the Med. Great fun to motor down past Monaco and see it all from the water. Beautifully sunny day. Anchored just off Menton beach for a bit of rocking lunch!
