Bristol for lunch
22 September 2012 | Portsmouth RI
Damp start. Pm sunny 15 knots
Figured out the NMEA problem and retired the system without the iT5, using the ST60s as the master and the Garmin as the repeater. Works! Though the wind signal is very jumpy. Needs damping somehow. Also started wiring the Garmin through to the VHS so we can use DSC.
Ross, Regan and Andrew came down and we motored out in zero wind under the bridge. By lunch the breeze had come up from the NE. We tied up at the Thames dock (plenty of water - over 8 feet) and had a sunny September meal on the terrace. The wind had swung round to the East so we beat back as the wind built to 15+. Great sail.
