Strictly this is not a boaty post - but there are few occasions when I can truly say I'm glad I'm not sailing.

This afternoon, after many tribulations, we got 2Mbps symmetrical wireless broadband - it makes YBW fora go seriously fast !

Looking at the fog rolling down the hill, I shall stay safely indoors and read YBW fora instead of getting wet and cold !

Well actually the idea is to do more work ...

Theoretically the supplier is looking at wireless enabling the D.mouth anchorage which would make us even happier !

Well I had a cracking sail this afternoon in the Solent. Tack out of Portsmouth and then close hauled all the way up the solent at between 6-8 knots. Got to Southampton and turned back to Portsmouth for a nice broad reach home. Sun was out, waves were a bit frisky, and boat resembled a submarine a couple of times, even splashed onto my wheelhouse windows /forums/images/icons/smile.gif Wind varied between 10 kts and 30 kts apparent. Much better than sitting at home!
