After three years of preparation we are finally ready to leave Gosport marina. We wake early in the morning so we can get a early start but as usual Gosport Marina were lazy pieces of work and did not get their arse into gear till about 10am to get to the fuel pontoon.
Anyway we finally leave on a beautiful day and head for the Anchorage Lulworth Cove ( which is possibly the worst anchorage we have ever been to in our whole 4 years of sailing)
I am so nervous that i smoked 8 fags in half and hour waiting by the fuel poontoon.
It was a wicked fast sail and Quartermoon hit her record speed of 9.3 knots fully loaded with water and fuel, which is pretty quick for her.
Any person reading this we can recommed never to go to Lulworth Cove. The weather was probably as settled as you will ever get, but by god it was so rolly. We woke up at 5 am in the morning after a terrible night sleep and left in the dark cos we could not stand it a moment longer!! Cant wait to get to warmer climates, ROCK ON !!
