We have had some holiday this week and consequently some time to get to know Komale better.
We decided that the time had come for Komale to get back on the high seas and we set ourselves the modest challenge of escaping her berth at the Lymington Yacht haven with a goal of reaching nightfall in Yarmouth, on the Isle of Wight.
Having brazenly paddled out of the security of Lymington River we were at the mercy of the wind and tides. Fortunately we had planned the tides well and the weather Gods were truly shining down on us. The sea was calm and we bathed in glorious sunshine, so the crossing was remarkably easy.
Stronger winds greeted us over the next couple of days, but our first two nights on board were a resounding success. We even managed a cup of tea anchored off the needles and were pleased with the opportunity to show off our T-shirt tan-lines.
