Holiday

As always with sailing you are at the beck and call of the wind and the tides.  Our intention at the start of the week was to sail to Torquay, spend two or three days exploring the Devonian coastline then back home across Lyme Bay at the end of the week. 

We travelled in company with Adrian and Jayne on Sorrento with a light wind and fair tide. Forecast for the week started to look bad for the latter end, with a large storm arriving.   We made a plan that we would stay in Weymouth on tuesday as it was going to be a very wet day anyway and a passage would have been miserable. This would give us a chance to reassess the weather situation at the end of the day.
With a quite vicious storm on the way we decided that we didn't want to be stuck at the other end of Lyme Bay when it hit.  An early start for passage to Yarmouth (closer to home) was the plan.

Tuesday night, Lou completed her first nocturnal treatment on the boat.

It was an early start Wednesday and a fast downwind sail to Yarmouth,  arriving just as the wind was freshening.  "Collective Spirit" the Boat Project boat sailed past and we got a a few pictures, later it was moored in Yarmouth and we had a chat and took a few more pictures.
