I\'m a raggie now me!

Helped a friend sail his 56ft cat Brigand to Southampton from Jersey - set off Sat morning in seriously lumpy seas which got better as we rounded Corbiere. Wind from S sent us flying at 10-12 knots. Picked up a buoy at Yarmouth (after 12.5 hours) for the night. Breakfast in Yarmouth, lunch in Cowes, then sailed up the Solent and into Southampton Water today. I took the wheel as we sailed up Solent under full sail - had right of way over most boats. This raggie business can go to your head! The pics are a bit out of focus and don't show how rough it was but SWMBO had to take them in a gale!
