Expected light winds but turned out better. The goal was Itchenor overnight and getting to the Chichester bar by 1815. We ended up sailing West in the morning with the tide then motored back to Osborne Bay for lunch before sailing down to Chichester making the bar bang on schedule. Planned dinner at the Ship Inn at Itchenor and after a quick tie up at the jetty we made it before the 2000 curfew. Wind picked up overnight but berth was secure. Jetty moorings still being finished so electricity not on yet and a hunt for the shower code before Harbour Office opened but shower facilities very good - though only two!
