Day Two - Saturday, June 21st - no sailing today as we have enjoyed a perfect, cloudless sunny day using the new bikes to go up to the Needles to watch the Round The Island competitors. The lovely weather meant very little wind, however, so progress for the hundreds of boats competing can best be described as "stately", I think, with a fair bit of drifting once around the Needles, including the occasional bumps between boats as they were at the mercy of the tide.
Then down to Freshwater Bay (deciding against a swim, although it did look tempting) and on to the Red Lion for a well earned beer or two and a light lunch in the garden. What sunny summer days should be about- let's have many more of them.
Off to Weymouth tomorrow.  The forecast is for more of the same fine weather, the breeze, what there is of it, should be behind us so it will be a long hot day on the water, probably having to use the engine a fair bit again, I suspect.  We shall see.
