The most beautiful anchorage in the Solent they say, though it feels a tad bleak this evening, with gathering grey clouds and more wind than forecast. Still we are snug here and await the forecast the old way, on the radio.
We had a pleasant sail down the Solent with another following wind - can you believe it! This after a restful morning in Haslar watching various sailing school boats practicing arriving and leaving, and one of our neighboring WWII Motor Gunboats went out with a huge growl of engines and plume of diesel smoke.
Even on a cool grey Wednesday there are lots of yachts being used in the Solent, which is good to see after last year when seeing another yacht at sea was a major event.
Now for a peaceful evening listening to the cries of the birds and the soughing of the wind.
