Thanks to our Froggy friends, my planned sailing trip across the channel has been redirected. Looking forward with both trepidation and hope, I learnt that the French were protesting about petrol prices and wouldn't let boats use the port at Cherbourg!
Never mind. The Beatrice C with her owner and captains Victor and Karoline, and with sturdy crewmates Mike, Jon, Wayne, Jasper, Dave and myself, we pottered around the south coast of England, near the Isle of Wight.
Our first night we slept on board at our berth in the little river at Hamble and in the morning we slowly sailed to Lymington in the 49 foot Hallberg Rasse, 22 years old.
And then we went to Cowes for the night. A lovely little pub on the Isle of white for some table dancing.
The weather proved changeable and, despite the fact that we couldn't make it to france, we did have a good time!
Thanks Victor and Karoline!
