Hi all. It was an excellent cruise in company with superb weather.

It was a great shame for the late starters (we did not start until 950) that committee boat packed up at 10pm. We finished at 9.30pm. I gather last boat home crossed the 'line' at 3am next day.

At Needles turn we stood on out to sea as we were close to turn of tide - probably a mistake but with a south easterly I thought it likely that wind would be flukely inshore.
We tacked into Brightstone and tacked again offshore of St Caths which allowed us to make Ventnor with theflood tide. A further tack offshore allowed us to just clear Bembridge ledge.
We made the Folly (just) by 11pm.
See you all next year. Trapper 300s used to have a class start. Maybe we could reinstate this.

Any more events this summer to attend!
