The cruise began with a motor in flat calm conditions to Buckler's Hard up the Beaulieu river with Atlantis and Legacy in close company. That night was probably the coldest we had experienced so far this winter so it was good that we had eaten well that evening (spag bol and garlic bread!).

In the morning we had a short sail to Newtown for brunch. (sorry no pics)

Then a motor and a sail from Cowes to Portsmouth harbour Gunwharf quays after a brief trip around the harbour looking at the 'grey funnel' line ships.

Monday was warmer but with no wind again for the return to Hamble via Cowes

Bucklers Hard on the Beaulieu river.
