Hey..I'm a sailor!

Well.....
What a great weeksnd we all had sailing on the Solent.
Got to Portsmouth Friday evening and had a lovely steak.
We threw the raw meat onto a BBQ grill that was built into the table and watched it (and smelled it) cook.
Slept on the boat that evening.
Saturday morning we had a safety brief from Chris and then set sail.
We stopped for lunch just off the Isle of Wright coast.
Hmmm.. pies and beans.
Then off to Cowes where we berthed for the night.
Sunday morning we went up river for a bit of fun steering the boat forwards and backwards in figures of 8.
The locals must have thought we were loopy.
Then out into the Solent again for a bit of full sail action.
All very exciting.
We want to do it all again ASAP.
Many thanks to Chris for the invite.
Had a great time.
