Back in the saddle...

I finally got out on Jelly Bean today... Jewels was off having Dinghy lessons, the forecast was for F3- F4 so James and I headed of the boat. We stopped for supplies on way, Chocky, Crisps, water and Coke. Out on the boat we got the sails up in double quick time and let go the mooring.... Only to drift side ways at less than 1 knot, humph!
We motor up the harbour as we had planned to go and spy on Julie. Once past the tip of Brownsea island the wind started to fill in and we got some proper sailing in.
We dropped the anchor at Hamworthy beach and watch the dinghy sailor being put through their paces while we had our lunch.
By the time we left the wind was up the a proper F4 as predicted and we flew back to the mooring at 5 - 6Knots.
It was great to be back on the boat and guess what.. I'm back again tomorrow :~)
