Grandchildren celebrate their grandads return, playing pirates, sporting their new t-shirts. I think they have a few ideas for improvements of Annie's song

Final day at sea

Left early 5am to catch the tides, it's amazing how the tides and wind can work with you or literally make you go backwards!the forecast for later in the day was force 6/7, so we decided to make a quick dash home to make sure our last day was a good one.

As you may have guessed we are having problems responding on this blog, we still really appreciate your comments.

We did see Portland bill and the sea was unbelievable, standing waves for 10minutes, they were either high waves or as phils put it "sea boiling". Skipper did an expert job.

We went into lulworth cove was beautiful (pic), then we stayed in swanage bay to wait for the tide to turn so we took advantage of an extra 3NM pushing us along
