A perfect autumn sail under clear skies and warm sunshine. Downwind run out through Poole Harbour on the ebbing tide, smooth passage past the Sandbanks Ferry and into Studland Bay. Picked up a buoy with ease; conditions calm and idyllic. The sea sparkled and the rocks along Old Harry shone bright in the sunlight.
