Moonbeam was the last yacht to be loaded aboard MV ‘Sampogracht’ and then
she headed to Newport Rhode Island to unload a few yachts before heading for
Southampton. Bad weather in the Atlantic caused delays and the expected 8 day
trip took 13!
Moonbeam was the first to be craned back into Southampton water at 0900 on
Monday 21st and we motored around to Ocean Village Marina to get ready for the
sail home. We had enjoyed our few days in Southampton meeting up with some good
friends.
Tuesday 0800 and we cast off and headed to Cowes to fill up with diesel
before heading West. A good tide under us and we make 10 knots over the ground
down the West Solent and past the Needles With a good breeze we made good time
to Weymouth, mooring up at 1700hrs.
Cowes
Iconic Needles
First time in Weymouth we sampled a couple of pubs before enjoying dinner
aboard.
