A lot can happen in a couple of weeks

From Southampton we made our way back to Port Solent as we had to leave the boat for a few days to go back home. The Skipper was re-living his days as a wedding photograper and did the photos of some friends. A good time was had by all.


Back to the boat and off to the Isle of Wight for a few days. Yarmouth is a pretty little town with a surprising number of pubs. 


Then we set off to all points west. The furthest west we have yet been on Bugsy. We set off on Saturday morning at about 6am to make a passage towards Weymouth. A day of extremes. In the early morning there was no wind and we motored down to the Needles. Unfortunately, the tide was against us and we went past Hurst castle at a stately 1.6 knots. 


Later in the day, the wind go up (we even had to put a reef in) and at one point were making 8.1 knots over the ground. 


We arrived in Weymouth at 15:45, just in time for the 16:00 bridge lift and this was our new home for the week.

Not a bad place to be.

On Saturday we're going to hire a car to go and look at some boats in Dartmouth and Plymouth. We'll keep you posted.....
