Exclusive use of the Solent

Flatter than a witches....... & quieter than a hog roast at a vegan festival.

Those days when you nick a brief window before the heavens open and the wind starts howling. What a chore to have to give the boat a bit of a run

If I'm being honest the wood fired pizza was a bit on the large size but you know me, I'm not one to complain.

Tomorrow will be a different story, so make hay whilst the sun shines. Well I say sun. Make hay whilst the clouds aren't raining


Tell me it's snowing in the South of France.

I keep telling my mate with the Infamous Self-Destructing Ebay Speedboat that he needs to get it running again for days like that. Bit of a diversion over winter while my sailyboat is in bits.

The Solent was empty, the sun was out and the Roast in the Folly was pretty good last Sunday.

Had a good solid blast this afternoon sea trialing our boat prior to sale, bugger all around and great fun.

Somehow suspect the F43 might seem a little less fun �� but will have a bigger bed ��

Is that a leather dash?

Yep - the joys of winter boating. We were on the pontoon at 0930 on Wednesday, in Yarmouth just after 11 with our pick of berths, nice lunch in the Blue Crab and back home by 4 - all with clear blue skies and a calm sea - fabulous

I didn't think tomorrow was looking too bad. We're off to Cowes for the night (tomorrow).

The forecast has changed since I last looked. It was horrible but now Sunday afternoon doesn't look too promising. Have fun.
