Last couple of days now.  We will be moving the boat to East Cowes Marina this afternoon after we have topped up with diesel.  Had a good weekend away.  Sailed to the Beaulieu river, Gins farm.  Fog all the way there, so had to be very careful, tracked the route right in to the mooring pontoon.  Our visit allowed us to blow up the rubber dinghy to see if it really worked, and how we got on with it.

stage 1 - get the dinghy out of the boat

stage 2 - take it out of the bag and see what all the bits are

stage 3 - start blowing it up

stage 4 - looks good to me.  Now just get it in the water and put the dog in it.

Well Bertie liked the rubber boat, once he realised he was expected to get in it!  Had a walk ashore, but couldn't find any walks on the saltings. Never mind.  Had a drink in the club house and then had a fun dinner on the boat with friends. 

Left Sunday morning, but motored all the way home.  Very hot and sunny, but wind was in the wrong direction for sailing.
