Stop 3, Cowes

Ollie Broughton

Kite run, light airs, died at the end

A lovely kite run until the breeze disappeared in the last half-hour off Fishbourne. Strong tide off Cowes where we started sailing backwards on approach to the yacht channel. Great visitor mooring at Shepards Marina. Sheltered, nice showers. Dinner at Island Sailing Club (or a small starter in my case), a drink at RORC and another at the Union Inn. Breakfast in town before heading off. Perfect spot!
