Run in the morning towards Beaulieu village. Departed about 12:00 hours. As we passed Post 14 and 16 on the port side to, we noticed one of the Army Yacht’s ground. We decided to try and tow them off. We reversed up to the boat, took their line and motored forward. Despite full power for a number of minutes, we were unable to release the boat and have to leave it.  We had contacted NCI to let them know what was happening but there was not much more we could do. It was likely that they were going to be stuck there for the next 4 to 5 hours. Having left the Beaulieu river, we sailed past Cowes and as the wind dropped motored the rest of the way towards Portsmouth. We came alongside around 1700 almost 0 wind and lovely sunshine. We tidied up the boat and a glass of wine or two or three and finished with a lovely evening meal of sausages and lentils. A great days sail.
