Cuckmere Haven

Wednesday afternoon presented an opportunity for a quickie: fine weather, light wind from the South and East. I threw some food together, and we set off.

Out of Newhaven Harbour by 5pm, sailing gently along in a southerly direction. 

The winch handle went over board at one point, that was a bit of drama. We recovered it relatively easily, being thankful that all the conditions were benign.

Then we turned north to Cuckmere Haven. We anchored in 6 metres just off the mouth of the Cuckmere, and had our supper, the sun went down behind the cliffs just as the last mouthful was chewed, so I pulled up the anchor and we motored back into the setting sun.

A lovely way to spend an evening.
