We left Eastbourne in good weather, but had to battle most of the way against a fresh SW wind. This produced some quite big waves, especially around Beachy Head.
Brighton marina was pretty full and we ended up rafting up against a brand new, very posh yacht.
There are two consequences of this.
1) we have to be very carefully not to scratch it. Shoes off as we walk across deck.
2) it's pristine white hull makes the 30 year old, yellowing fibreglass of Crusoe Too look very tatty!
Full marinas will be the pattern now for the rest of August, so I will have to get used to rafting up. Not like the North, where sailing life is more simple!
Off to Portsmouth today and we are still aiming to be in Poole on Friday and Saturday night. (for Sue: we will be at the Poole Haven marina by the Town Quay)
Is Tony also ironing Steve's clothes.... Are you sure he is not Steve's butler!
