It‘s been a long time since our last blog… In the mean time we had some upgrades done to the boat by the amazing guys from Allspars Solent, did some great sailing on weekends including a nocturnal attempt to invade France with sailing mates Florian, Tobias, Chris, Nick and Tim…
Here are some impressions of our last short outing of the year 2017. No need for snowy mountains to have some sun, fun and great nature, my Swiss friends 😎.
We wish you all a Happy New Year and stay tuned
After a great regatta week in Salcombe we set sail again back to Portsmouth via Dartmouth, Devon and Portland, Dorset. We made two 65mn passages across Lyme Bay and from Portland back to Portsmouth. Constantin nearly grounded us on the bar at Salcombe estuary, we encountered a pod of dolphins whilst sailing across Lyme Bay and we caught another mackerel in Poole Bay. The weather continued to be a mixed bag and only on the very last day the British summer showed its best side.
This concludes a great long summer break. We will be back – stay tuned.
We spent a great week in Salcombe, moored on a visitor buoy right in front of the Harbour Hotel and right on the start line for the regattas. The weather was a mixed bag, but no real summer feeling arose… Salcombe Gin SYC Regatta was on for the week and Constantin sailed in the Topper fleet with Ben and Harry from Tamesis Club and friends Ollie and Tom. The kids and parents had great fun, for race results watch the video… 😉. Made a massive catch of Mackerels with Ian – yummy Ceviche – and had a great afternoon sailing with Rear Admiral Rubbish and the Harris family. Maddie made a debut at the helm of Polaris and did great!
