Sailing - Day 7
Originally uploaded by Basho Matsuo.
Today has been the best sailing so far. We motored around from Brixham towards Poole via some wonderful cliffs and coastlines. Around the point we came across the “rough waters” that had caused the event marked in the paper a few weeks ago; the boat wreck and rescue of two people off the cliffs. I can quite understand why the skipper of that boat became frightened as the waves here are in a perminant state of extreme chop and you roll down one and up the other magnificently, which is both fun and terror inducing at the same time. Eventually we made it through this and I took long turn at the helm getting us up to 9nts and taking us into Poole harbour. After some well deserved drinks we all turned in and got some equally well deserved rest. Last day tomorrow and we have much to do once we get back ashore.
