Spirit of the Sea Festival in Weymouth
07/11/10
After having a wonderful sail down to Weymouth, with only two tacks, we ventured into the harbour unaware there was a festival happening along the town quay. The harbour master came out to reassure us we would be able to tie up on the quay for a few days. Unfortunately a small fishing boat had happily taken the end of the berth and not left enough room for us. Of course the owner was nowhere in sight. A quick decision was made to pull it over to the next berth to raft up to a sail training boat. Talk about a crowd and a half. Without any mishaps we were safely tied up to the town quay. The only problem was you felt like a monkey in a zoo, with hundreds of eyes peering down at you. The town was very quiet the next day as a lot of people apparently had only travelled down for the day.
