Well the "little hop around the corner" was to
quote The Skipper "A baptism of Fire" 32 knot winds on the nose, rough
seas, rain and after 3+ hours, getting cold! On the plus side, for
some strange reason, Studland Bay is almost empty so no trouble finding
space to anchor The cockpit is festooned with soggy oilies and we all
collapsed in the cabin for a hot beverage of choice and a delve into the biscuit
box. An early (5 a.m.) start tomorrow to cross the channel. That is,
of course, unless plans and therefore the course, changes following discussions
re the weather forecast, which though better that today's is still showing 20+
knots of wind with 'occasional' gust of 34 knots....and starting off wet -
Nice.
So - watch this space, we could be anywhere by
tomorrow teatime
