6 nautical miles
Tim had been in London for Thursday and Friday and we discussed over the Internet what we would do. He suggested sailing Sunday not Saturday, but I had invited Jeremiah and Elliott from the office so checking the weather we decided to chance it. Our fear was that it would be cold and slight rain so not very pleasant. As it turned out there was sun for a greater part of the day. But...
Overnight there had been strong winds from a different direction to the wind this morning, so the wind and waves were coming from different directions and the wind was light at about 5-7 knots. What this meant was that not jus pitching through the waves the boat was rolling a lot too. This affected Elliott and he got quite sea sick. When Jacob too god sea sick we decided enough was enough and headed for the marina.
We then cleaned up, had lunch and fitted the final two turnbuckle covers. Finally, took out quite a lot of the anchor chain along the dock, measured it and put coloured markers on the chain to let us know how much we have let out.
