SELENE - CAPTAINS LOG

January 2013

 

Came out of Haslar at 0700 in the dark and motored against a light headwind to Yarmouth. Julia stayed in bed until 0900 when we had tea. Got to Yarmouth and showered and then walked up to the Red Lion at Freshwater, where we met Beverlee and Ralph for lunch - great food. Walked back with the dog, and went into the Kings Head, where we were joined by the Area 15 gang. We then went to the Wheatsheaf for dinner and a good time was had by all. ( Goose, Bacchus, and Skoolies )

 

Sunday morning, we had planned to leave a bit earlier, but there was a pea-souper and although we were on the pontoon by the office I couldn't see the lifeboat ! We waited until 10:30 and set off in slightly better viz. It was never good and got really thick off Cowes but the electronics kept us in good shape. The 46 footers eventually overhauled us by Osborne House, but we had a fast journey back with the tide under us. We then went up to the pub with No Name to See Richard and Helen as they are running the place for a week
