Early Spring Solent Cruise

Lovely Spring Sunshine, so we abandoned Bonzo and her 6 rapidly growing Rottweiler-cross puppies with the now-resident "children" and took to the water.

Itchenor to the Folly for supper (nice food but a long queue).

Pleasant sail to Yarmouth next day.
New walk-ashore berthing is very expensive.
No water or electricity connected yet, berthed near the commercial fishing fleet.
To pay about £35 to moor to an unfinished pontoon (in April) and still have pay £1.50 per shower is a rip-off.
Meal at the Bugle was nice.

Lovely close reach to the Beaulieu River (F4 warm and sunny).
(Nice picture of our tender at Buckler's Hard.
Berthed on the piles (which now has a pontoon).
Peaceful. Flubber trip up the river.
Supper aboard.

Nice Sunday morning walk to the village.

Motored back to Chichester.
