We started the day well ...breakfast in the cockpit and left at a leisurely 11am....our destination Lulworth Cove for lunch.But this popular anchorage is just like the january sales...you need to arrive before sunrise to get the spot in the queue...so it was busy and we had to console ourself with the stunning warbarrow bay. Quick bite to eat then we upped anchor following elle dehors and big cheese back to Portland. Now there is a well known law of sailing ....murphy's law..the wind is always against you. we tacked out in the morning and expected to sail back with the cruising chute flying....but no the wind changed 180 degrees and we tacked back.... but it was lovely and sunny. Portland marina wins the prize for best marina showers ever.... even including proper hair dryers instead of those stupid tube hairdryers that blow out warm air and could only have been designed by a folically challenged man. had both 3 boats crews on for pre dinner drinks then off to restaurant for Brassey Dinner. Back to Elle Dehors to celebrate Kevin's birthday. Sang Happy B to him whilst recording it on Pat's voice mail.... i am sure the singing was distorted by the call to Oz....we were all in tune (not)
Great day
