Rounding Portland Bill in the dark - close in or stay out?

Crumbs, you should rename yourself Hawkeye !!

Ha! It was a bit breezy yesterday evening and I just remarked to one of the dockmasters that you might be having an interesting voyage. He said probably not because your new boat was already on the pontoon. I wouldn't mind having a look at the new ship though at some point if it's not too much of an imposition.

Rumour has it that you got one that sails a bit this time? Might need to change your forum name again, GrinningNick or SmileyNick or YeehahNick?

I think that those with the nerve to take the inside route at night should be rewarded with a push button dimmer switch, mounted on a buoy or rock, to stop any of the crew being dazzled by that flashy lighty thingy

Thats two of us then.

Done this passage many times. Ditto - NW wind go close in.

Have you got any Cornish ancestors by any chance ?!

Seajet, no cornish ancestry to my knowledge, but helming through the Scillies in the early hours, I just shut my eyes, and did not see a single pot buoy........
