A tale of two sails.  We left early to get over the bar.  As we went out a Dutch boat had run aground as they had drifted outside of the very narrow channel.  They were rescued and pulled off.  The Eastern side of the Solent was okay - winds 11-15kts but as the day progressed so the wind increased in strength. By the time e we were off  Cowes they were 23-25kts with wind over tide.  Penny decided that breakfast had not agreed with her and presented it to Neptune.  The plan was to go to Yarmouth but beating down the Western Solent during Cowes week was not going to be fun.  So we turned right and went up Southampton Water to Ocean Village - avoiding tankers, ferries and other sailing craft abandoning Cowes Week racing.  Ocean Village was peaceful and quiet.  We had a lazy lunch and then cocktails on the fancy hotel before going for a Sunday roast.
