Stuart Rowney

Windy and fresh. First day with crew bringing the boat from Lymington to Hamble. Gybed up the Solent. Rounded up in the led of castle point where we dropped the second reef in. Tacked up to line before bearing away to cowes where we had lunch and made adjustment. Pottered out of cowes via small boat channel and tacked up to windward ( much better!) then bore away parallel to thorn channel and once in Southampton water did a couple of MOB drills. Before bearing away to Hamble. Sailed in then rounded up and dropped main at no.5. Berthed in C10
