We had a lovely day, 09.00 start, Phil had a great strategy at the start find a little bit of clear water and wind and don't be on course side, everyone on board was in great spirits, we were becalmed just after the start, which I think was the point at which Chloe started the first "yes / no game" Claire and Shirley were definitely the experts at winning though. Once the wind filled in we had a great sail down the Solent,
Got round the Needles really easily, bit of fun to St Cat's with boats on Port and then great sail after Ventnor, we then started to compose our own version of "show me the way to Amarillo" and thanks to Cath and Phil we avoided the parking lot at Bembridge as the breeze had started to fill in further offshore. Lots of fun at Ryde but we tacked out into clear water what we lost in foul tide we gained in clear water and wind,
Long beat up the Solent and we finished at 20.39. 403rd in IRC. Huge thanks to Phil, Sarah, Cath, Shirley,Chloe, Claire, Harriet, Joseph, and Sam I had a great day
