Our first weekend away on the boat, a short trip to the Isle of wight.

Monty looking ready  "Sharp eyes lads"

A lovely , if cool , day with a following wind and fair tide saw us make the journey to Cowes in just over 4 hrs.  It being a Bank Holiday Weekend and with quite a strong crosswind, the packed marinas didn't look too feasible to go in with our skittish cat.  We tried a few times to call up and talk to Cowes yacht Haven but to no avail,so we bit the bullet and carried on up to "The Folly Inn" moorings.  It's only £16 up there so 2 nights and a water taxi at £20 still saw us quids in.
