Sailing with Amy Clair

Crossing Lyme bay is significant. It makes you feel that you have arrived in the West Country Proper ! A very uneventful crossing fortunately no headwinds but we needed to motor for most of the way.

Our second attempt at leaving the Solent begins now ! Our trip took us down to Yarmouth then on , across Poole bay down to Weymouth to meet up with old friends again. In Weymouth we were berther immediately behind a Royal navy Training Vessel who obviously are as punctilious as ourselves about flag etiquette at dusk and dawn !
