Beachy Head

After a lazy Sunday in the Sovereign Harbour, Plum, Kestrel and Cum Annexis got an early start this morning while the rest of us decided to leave after lunch. We locked out last at 1:30 with Crow. We both tried sailing but gave up. We thought the inner channel past Beachy Head would be Ok but the wind and sea state were worse than we hoped. After battling the waves for ages we could see breakers across the spit and gave up and went outside everything. It was better but we still had a nasty headwind and 6ft waves all the way to Brighton. We got in and had a drink and dinner with Robert, Lorna, Mike, Mick, Trevor and Tony.
