From Calm To Chaos - From Chaos To Peace

#gosport #englishchannel #portsmouth #selseybill #brighton It sounded like an excellent idea—to escape the hedonist, soul-dampening boundaries of the marina. And it was. The forecast promised a variable 2 to 4 It was one of those days… when I was just as undecided about my course as the weather was about its own. After about an hour under sail, things began to clear. The wind freshened, steady and kind. And for a time—it was joy. The variety of weather I’ve encountered this day was nothing short of spectacular — like a week, or even a month of impulses, all compressed into a single day. Passing Selsey Bill on the outer route in over 20 knots of wind was a first for me — one I won’t forget. After rounding the cape, I shook out the reefs in a perfect breeze, reaching smoothly toward Portsmouth as darkness settled. The city lights rose from the sea — a chain of ships, a quiet hope that we preserve what we treasure. #sailingadventure #sailinglife #ukweather #gearfailure #sailingvlog #strongwinds #boatlife #badweather #lifeatsea #sailinguk #stormchasing #oceanadventure
