Don't tell anyone but have to admit to slight jealous feeling yesterday!

Was delivering our 34' sailing yacht from her summer (!!) berth in gosport to winter layup at shoreham, trip took 7 hours at average speed c 5.5 knots.

Was impressed by sight of 10+ motoryachts together off chichester bar beacon- didn't get close enough to see what you were all upto but suspect that you were:-

1. Going to be home or tucked up long before we were,
2. Going to be cruising much quicker than we were

and most important of all,

3. Considerably warmer than we were!

Only saw 4 other yachts out during our entire trip and rare to be outnumbered by motorboats let alone by 2 to 1.

Still wondering what you were all doing off the bar beacon though?

Paul,

The reason for us being there was sadly due to one of our club members passing away Christmas Eve. Her partner laid a wreath as we paid our respects in the environment in which most of us knew her.
