What a view to wake up to. Enough said!

Arguing about the south cardinal at the entrance to the Hamble
Great day (again) sailing. Anchor practice lead us to lunch in the Beaulieu after sailing from Yarmouth.
Wind was too strong for man over board drills under sail but we could at least practice helming and picking up in conditions (25kts) too strong otherwise.
Finished at Port Hamble Marina where we berthed and found time for 3 pints of Guiness at the Bugle.
Heading West
After a very sedate cruise up the Beaulieu River to Bucklers Hard we found some proper wind back on the Solent. Tacked all the way across to Yarmouth passing Roman Abramovich’s old superyacht ‘Grande Bleu’- which has a 75′ yacht and a motor yacht on top of the back of it – yes on it!
Moored alongside the town quay after this lovely approach.
