.....But not where we planned.
The weather forecast today was for a southerly force 3 to 4, veering southwesterly force 5 to 7, with a gale force 8 later.
We have known for a couple of days that this was coming, but what to do today? We couldn't get out of the Solent before 1pm because of the strong contrary spring tide in the Hurst narrows, but would we make it back to Poole before the storm hit? So we set off anyway with a final decision to be made after hearing the updated forecast at noon.
No sign of a change, so here we are up the Lymington river - with the wind whistling, but just a car ride home tomorrow,courtesy of Ian's taxis. Better safe than sorry.
White Satin has looked after us well the past 30 days and 588 sea miles, but we will have to leave her holed up at Lymington for a while until the storms blow through.
All the best to our readers and many thanks for your comments.
So it's goodnight from him.....and good night from him.
