Wight Mistress’s Round Britain Trip

We have been thinking about this for some years and are now getting no younger. At 71 we have just decided to get on with it, so watch this space. For some odd reason Find Penguins has us in 'Woking.' Trying to sort this out as we are at home. Leer más
  • Beaulieu River to FSMBC

    11–13 abr., Inglaterra ⋅ 🌬 12 °C

    1145 slipped from mooring and sailed all the way to Fareham Creek for a couple of nights alongside on Fareham Sailing and Motorboat Club (FSMBC), arriving at 1734.
    A brisk sail with max apparent wind speed 40kts. Arrived in the creek much earlier than expected, due to a much better Mean Line of Advance (MLA) (and leaving too early.) so we did a Starmer (u-turn) and parked for a very short while on Wicor mid-water pontoon where the westerly 35kts of wind eased us on to the berth. An interesting spring off a couple of hours later and our friend Mike was on the FSMBC club berth to take our lines.
    Another pleasant sail. and 2 nights alongside to have dinner with Mike and our friends John and Bev at the Castle in the Air, just down the road from the club.
    That evening we met new members Vanessa and Beverly (another Bev) and had a superb evening chatting with them and maybe sharing the odd sherbet.
    Mike stayed onboard overnight Saturday.
    We stayed at FSMBC until our departure on Monday 13 April,.

  • Island Harbour to Beaulieu River

    10–11 abr., Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    After many weeks of preparation and updates preceded by a 6 month haul out, we actually departed Island Harbour on Friday 10 April 2026 at 1537. A gentle and very pleasant sail across to the Beaulieu River where we moored on visitor mooring 29 for the night. this is a common occurrence for us when leaving on any trip (other than local stuff) where we just like to pick up a mooring, away from everything, and chill.

    Fabulous sunset!

    And so it begins
