Sailing!

Well we've had our first experience of sea life! And boy did we love it ... in between the vomiting that is!!

Our voage was to be in "Going Concern" thanks to the very kind support of Ollie!
The wind was not behind us on Friday, so we had to rely on the engine here and there to get us Jersey 11 pm that night ... much to the dismay of puerists out there!
But the rude wake up call at 4am on Saturday informed that we'd have suffuicinet wind to take us at an intersting angle to Poole!

Made vomiting over side easier when you've got a sheer drop I guess ... and much better than a communal vomit bucket that needs emptying I find!!!

A lovely and heart felt welcome at Poole gave us time to rest and recharge batteries, before setting off on Sunday for ice cream at Yarmouth!

A brief, but amazing introduction to the sea! But no doubt it will stand us in good stead for the venture ahead !

A BIG Thank you to Ollie for inviting and accommodating us, to George (sadly without Sharkie) for being at the helm while the rest of us slept and/or vomited, to Dan for looking after the step and the vom bucket so carefully, and to Amy for parading in her long john's with a lovely shade of green!!!!!
