The Solent, France and beyond...!
Having picked up our Charter from Lymington Yacht Haven, we slipped out before tea time and anchored in Alum Bay beneath the majestic Needles at the western point of the Isle of Wight. We watched the sun set while having one of Mikes famous Bobotie meals then settled down for an early start.
Early Monday we slipped anchor at 0530 and raised the sails. The winds were perfect and in one tack we arrived at Cherbourg by 1600. After a quick shower we were in the bars for Moules Marinere and une biere!
