End of June, Isle of Wight

This was a weekend of proper sailing.

We discussed where to go, I favoured Ventnor,  but the wind favoured the north coast of the Island.
we had set off quite late, and were approaching Ryde as it became dark; woops, where's all the water gone?
scrap that idea, let's push on to Wooton.

We slid into Wooton Creek next to the Yacht Club where they were having a loud party, and picked up a buoy.

 Then we sailed round the corner to Bembridge, we tried to beach up on the east side next to the sailing club, but had left it too late, so we motored out to The Ledge to assess how much fuel was consumed in 30 minutes, (about a .5 litre), in preparation for the Channel crossing in a couple of weeks.
