Luxury

After waking to find that the fan heater had finally packed up, the boat felt as cold as Satan’s Private Parts!

I would imagine.

However Cowes Yacht Haven when the weekenders have gone is much more pleasant place… cheaper, cleaner and no queueing for a shower.

But the Isle of Wight can’t hold us for long, so after a quick march along the seafront to Gurnard Tea Rooms it was a very close hauled trip into Lymington to again experience the luxurious facilities of the Lymington Yacht Haven.

We used to rough it on the Town Quay, but then discovered for just a few pounds extra the Haven offers electric hook up and great showers.

Also I’m not sure how my new non-binary mooring lines would have gone down on the quayside. It can get a bit rough down there 🤨

Meeting a friend for lunch has wiped out most of the day and tomorrow it’s bike hire and a ride to Hurst Castle!

Not much sailing to report so far but the pressure is dropping, the wind is rising, and the Cruel Sea awaits for Wednesday.

Meantime my new foredeck light is working well
