Day 1 - Lulworth Cove
Silk Sheets
Ben Shute & Fiona Kennelly
Sun 20 Jul 2008 13:38
50:37.10N 2:14.77W The day started off being lovely however the minute we
made it out past the needles the moment Fiona and I had been waiting for,
everything went a little sideways with a constant F6 wind coming across the
bow. You try drinking Champagne in wind like that.
Thankfully we had the tide with us and slogged it around Saint Albans head
to make it within 2miles of the Lulworth Cove to have the tide come at us at
a rate of knots.
Well I hope you can see from the pictures that it was well worth it in fact
we are staying for a second night.
Check out my double hook up.
