MCC Day Sail

Jonathan Taylor

Left the marina and met up with Freya, Toucan and Drumgold. Headed up river in procession. Wind was 20 gusting 25 knots so sailing about 3-4knots with just half the headsail out. Got near Rochester bridge and the wind became more unpredictable gusting over 30 knots so pulled in the sail and motored instead. Turned round and headed back towards Chatham marina. Rafted up on the pontoon outside and boarded Freya for lunch. Had to leave early so broke free from the raft just as Omega showed up to take our place. Very short return journey back to the marina.
