And they're off!

A day later than planned perhaps, but we've finally got underway.

To allow a slightly later start, we moved Cyclone from her home berth to a vacant mooring near the entrance to Chichester Harbour on Sunday afternoon.

Drifting with the tide past Itchenor

Our mooring for the night...

... and again.
 We then set off at 0500 Monday morning and, after making the most of the light wind available on this fresh spring morning (after a slow, cold sail - Jo), arrived at Brighton 7.5 hours later.

A slightly wonky Brighton!
Neither of us slept well on the mooring so it was nice to just relax in our "conservatory" (cockpit tent) and observe the local building site. We'll spend 2 or 3 nights here before making our way along the coast to Eastbourne.
