May 18, Sunday
Finally our first sail of the year! We were very glad to welcome new crew to dust off the cobwebs on a beautiful shimmering Solent sail on a perfect day.
David’s sister Jess came along to help with Tony, Khai and Eme.
Very helpful crew both on the helm and off it
Eme was definitely the bravest
We pootled down to just beyond Newtown creek on the Isle of Wight and pootled back again. We tested the hi-fi too although I’m not sure the others were convinced that the cockpit is a great dancefloor…
As this is the tidal Solent, it took about 3 hours there and less than one hour back.
Thank you Jess, Tony, Khai and Eme for making our first outing so joyful
