We were limited in how much we could explore, for a few reasons: â We werenât allowed to declare Anker, so he had to stay on board. â The forecast hinted at strong winds coming in⊠â âŠand we couldnât risk being stuck, since weâre dropping off a crewmember on Friday. So, we made the most of it! Wandered the charming streets, soaked up the islandâs calm and authentic vibe, and of course â ordered cider and fish nâ chips at the local pub. What more can you ask for? Guernsey, weâll be back. Next time, with more time and a dog whoâs allowed on land đ¶đ #sail #sailing #circumnavigation #shortoftheday #guernsey #explore #adventure #liveaboard #dog #cutedog
This was a trip up Southampton Water to the River Hamble. SotonMet logged it as F6 gusting F7. We were double reefed on the main with about 4/5 rolls in the jib. The wind was strong enough that we struggled to motor mainly because of the short chop. She sailed extremely well though, tacking all the way - 14 miles or so in total.
