Christmas has been and gone, and so has New Year.  We managed to get a sail in on New Year's day.  Went to Yarmouth, motored down there, but managed to sail back.  Yarmouth was full of the grandparents entertaining the grandchildren, while the parents slept off their hangover somewhere.  So not a lot had happened in the last fortnight.  I had really better get on and concentrate on my painting this year - but I always seem to say that.

I did actually take two photos, one of leaving Cowes (which didn't turn out) and one of leaving Yarmouth.  And this is it.  Looks quite lovely doesn't it.

We did have an afternoon out in Sandown, but the weather was overcast and it made everything look very dull and dreary - not a good advert for Sandown.
