A long time ago… A fantastic August Bank Holiday weekend with friends Marlene, Chris and Rolf on bord. We rounded the Isle of Wight clockwise, had some great sailing including a stretch from Cowes to the Solent Forts under Gennaker with a breeze gusting over 20 knots. Rolf set a new speed record on Polaris… Loads of fun! As usual, the Solent was overcrowded, no chance to find a visitor berth in any of the marinas when not booked a long time ago. So we went back to Haslar and weathered a stormy Sunday with a Hovercraft trip to the IoW and enjoyed a short trip to Port Solent on Monday.
