We were unable to leave much before 1130 to ensure sufficient height of tide over bar.  Although being neaps there was probably sufficient.  After a hearty breakfast of bacon and egg rolled we lifted the anchor and raised the sails in a light northerly breeze.  Once out I to the Solent we pulled up the asymmetric and sort of sailed and drifted down the Solent.  We were in no hurry as the bar at Bembridge would not be navigable until 1530.  We arrived just in time and motored over with .4m to spare!  We were allocated an inside berth. I was a little nervous as there is not much room for manoeuvre around the back and my depth gauge did go down to 0m. But we got I and had a nice evening aboard.
