Last weekend of August and what there was of summer is fleeing wildly. So seizing the opportunity for a last outdoor activity I went sailing. This trip was a weekend excursion from Southampton in England sailing over the channel to the Channel Islands and then back. I had a fantastic time as the yaght was an 80 ft cruising yaght designed for round the world racing. It had plenty of room for the 20 sailors (6 crew 14 "guests") and the food was good and the company even better. All in all a very good experience. |
