W7 Drifty Sail
We made the best of the period of incredibly unseasonal weather. It was a real drifter so it was handy to have the outboard in the Wanderer. Heather went out in the Solo, and Mary tried out her new shorts!
It really was very still. We got as far as Watch-house Bay and had a look at the sea.
We slowly drifted back to the cut ready to go home when I spotted a patch of wind so we had a bit of real saling (not a lot though!)

W6 A quick thrash to Watch-House Creek
We thought it was going to be a drifter today and even got the spinnaker ready for its first outing, but...
It was quite windy and gusty. Although we just about managed with three up under full sail it was a bit uncomfortable in the gusts and it would have been a long, probably wet, beat to the point which was the originl plan.
So we returned to the cut, took down the sails and then motored to watch-house creek for a coffee and a look at the sea.
