Water and boat time was coming thick and fast, as no sooner had we delivered AmiLy,
and bought Sparrow out than it seemed to be time to bring t'other Dave's boat
round, "Kings Ransom"...
Dave keeps his boat at Port Solent but over winter keeps her in the same yard I
do, so this would be a delivery from Port Solent to Langstone... crew for the day me and Smithy, plus both of Smithy's loin fruit (or I think that's what he said 😁), Rodders and Dave were otherwise occupied but missed... a bit...
Nothing to extraordinary - not as much wind as we would have liked, but a god trip in warm'ish weather nonetheless.

Left Port Solent at 09:30, locked out without incident, and departed harbour entrance roughly an hour later, out submarine barrier by approx. 11:15 and we were coming though Langstone harbour entrance an hour after that... huge help from the tide as wind was up and down, but a quick trip...
Not immediately apparent but clicking on this for a bigger view will show the tide rip in shore at the entrance to Langstone... |
Glorious day - this is looking up harbour from the entrance towards Portsdown Hill... ==>
....and Dave's plot... 😀
While you haul out and do delivery trips we are headed into summer and what looks like some pretty high summer temperatures - I won't mind that too much so long as it is accompanied by good sailing breezes.
ReplyDeleteAlden - very jealous... it's been an amazing summer here in the UK... hot and breezy and seemingly for ever. Fair winds for your season and let us (all) know how it goes via the blog!
