We arrived back in the Itchenor anchorage yesterday, our last destination before heading back to Brighton on Thursday. The forecast is looking like it is obliging for once - sunny with N-NW winds F 3-4 so it should be a pleasant last sail.

Our friends from Brighton on Lady Rosemary also arrived here yesterday we had a good catch up with them and tales from their round Britain sail.

Just outside the entrance to Chichester Harbour Colin caught our first mackerel. Woo hoooooooooooooooooo!!! So I had my first filleting practise.... I think I'd get nil points for presentation but at least there was still some fish meat left after I'd hacked it to bits. And it tasted lovely for breakfast this morning, grilled with croissants from the shop in Bosham.
