Well,
After David has blasted us for being boring and given i have read some fantastic reports in the past of peoples trips, its about time i made a little contribution!!
This was a few weekends ago (weekend of 26th and 27th June) and we were out to celebrate the passing of another year for me!
The plan was simple, out to enjoy the weekend!!
We set off from Hamble after fueling the boat bound for Chichester. Collect some friends from Itchenor slip and head out.
Now i know there are many on here who have been all over the place but it was my first time into Chichester and i was taken by the beauty of the place, this was helped by unbroken sunshine. We will be back for sure!!
Headed out to Priory bay for a a but of Ringo fun and an impromptu photo shoot thanks to Richard who was prepared to sit on the ringo with the camera whilst we zoomed around him!!
Tried to embed these but my computer skills are lacking im afraid (as seen form the picture size)

Now i know we are all young at heart but Richard decided it was a good idea to Ringo back from Priory bay to Chichester. off we set at 16 kts with him in tow! fair play to him, he made it but i know he suffered the next morning!!!
now the excuse was, we needed to wait for the tide to get up to Chichester, the truth was we just wernt ready to go home yet!
as we left East Head we were treated to some hot air balloons lifting off. from a distance it looked like one of them had some problems and speaking to the HM later, it was pretty close to taking out some masts at East Head before they finally got it under control and up in the air for good!!
and of course, wouldnt be a story without the wake shot.
Fantastic weekend and if we are honest, it was the weekend we fell in love with the boat. we have had a few very minor issues with it since owning it (which were always expected) but when you get weekends like this it makes it all worth while!
