Cyclone of Langstone

Cyclone of Langstone is our much loved Westerly Storm. In 2015 we cruised to the Baltic, spending much of our time in Denmark and Sweden. We followed this in 2016 with 5 months cruising the coast of France. In 2017 it was back to the Baltic where we spent time in Germany, Poland and the Baltic States. After a year off in 2018 we're intending to sail around the UK - or at least some of it! Our blog is to enable friends, relatives - and any other interested parties - to see how we get on.....

Brighton to Eastbourne

We're now in Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne after a pleasant sail from Brighton in variable winds.

Highlights were crossing the Greenwich Meridian and making more than 3 knots past Beachy Head with no speed through the water (absolutely none!). OK, it wasn't a particularly exciting sail!

...and to think we gave up work for this!

Lowlight was making a pig's ear of coming alongside in the lock at Sovereign Harbour for some reason. I blame the wind, the tide and the fact that I was wearing a Spinlock deckvest with "RYA Instructor" written on it (I got it at a discount!). No harm done and it proves I'm human I suppose!
