Well the forecast did not look good with strong winds forecast with too much south in the wind to go across the channel so we decided to head back to our mooring at Marchwood YC and try again to actually leave the Solent when there is a better forecast. Had a fast sail with the tide to Calshot and then motor-sailed the rest of the way to the Club pontoon. Still quite windy. Anne went home to collect the car, we unloaded perishables and dirty washing, took Harvard up to the mooring and we were soon back home.
Anne is happy as she can now go up to London tomorrow to see the grandchildren.
Will update this blog when we have new sailing plans.
