Day 2 on the great ship Scarlet Oyster. Had an amazing day yesterday with so many spectator boats to see us off – quite emotional saying goodbye to friends and family for 4 months but what an adventure we were embarking on. Superb weather for heading off down the Solent to Portsmouth. Arrived safely at Gunwharf Quays, faijitas for dinner and then everyone hit the sack – tiring day for all. Only one game of Uno this evening I think!
This morning we were lucky enough to have superb weather for a trip up Spinnaker Tower before heading off towards Brighton. Cracking sail down to Brighton with wind westerly F4/5 sea state ‘Topsy Turvy’ (thanks Joe for the addition to the sea state scale). Wind is now blowing a hooley – so very pleased to be nicely tied up at Brighton after tops sausage casserole – we even had dinner guests in the name of Frank and Simon – and I have it on good authority that the next time they are invited they will bring dessert!! Off for a short (?) game of Articulate and then shortly off to bed.
