We left Weymouth early the next day not only to get the tide around St Albans Head, but aslo as the Range Officer had indicated that firing from Lulworth would resume at 09.30 over a range of 3.5 miles off shore. This would give us a long offshore leg to complete so we reasoned that by setting off early we would be past the point of no return by the time the military wanted to start firing. As it was we were well through long before the deadline.
Jeff and I popped in to Lulworth Cove for a quick look en route.
We all stopped in Chapmans Pool for coffee and then rounded St Albans Head with quite calm seas. The wind filled in after that and we had a good sail into Poole past Old Harry.
Once we were anchored up in Blood Alley we were treated to an almost biblical sight - at first we assume Simon was going to formally christen Mac - it turned out he was in need of a comfort break......
