The Solent - Easter Sunday
Starring....
Nick
Dad
and me!
Sailing into the unknown with a reef in the mainsail and some rolls in the genny!
Prepared for all eventualities. My jacket looks more suitable for an Ellen MacArthur Southern Ocean crossing than a springtime jaunt down Southampton Water)
It pays to keep a good lookout
See! I told you.
Is this what they mean by a Mother Ship perhaps?
Bit of an arty shot by me
Enjoying a hearty meal
More arty stuff . OK - who's noticed that the topping lift ('rope'
on the right) is tensioned - this is wrong so we could have gone quicker if I'd
realised. So much to learn!!
Look - The Isle of Wight!
It's all hauling ropes and grinding winches this sailing lark you know!
