Wednesday 4 May Gosport to Lymington

Having spent the night at Gosport moored next to the Mary Mouse 2 a converted lightship housing the showers and bar but painted bright green. The water and fuel tanks were topped up and we were off at a leisurly 10:30
The forecast was N 4-5 and dry a superb day for a sail and for once they were correct. A wonderful sail reaching down the Solent under reefed sail heading towards Lymington. upon arrival the pilot book was consulted and it was noticed that Yarmouth now has walk ashore pontoons so a slight change of course to Yarmouth . As we approached Yarmouth the talk was if we wanted to leave for Weymouth we would be leaving now . The conservation then went "Why don't we carry on" , " Ok Why not." I think if they had a distillery it may have swayed our decision. The reef was taken out and 3 hours later we had arrived at Parksone YC in Poole harbour , £33 a night ouch only one pint in the bar and an early night for a 6:00 start tomorrow.
