DOVER TO ISLE OF WIGHT - ROUND BRITAIN

DOVER TO ISLE OF WIGHT

Well we missed showing you from Ramsgate to Dover as I just needed me time and sailing with no camera. In this video I’m a little pissed off due to a few factors but anyway the show goes on. This stretch we have had very little wind and a boring old passage along the way you will see a little on the cruising chute. We end up aiming for Eastbourne marina in the approach be carful and stay in the channel. It’s at this point you will hear bad talk and see me pissed off... 35 quid for this carryon...don’t get me wrong the staff were ok and friendly. I’m sorry if my straight talking offends anyone but I just say it how I see it I’m not your prim and proper sailor I’m a guy from the street taking you on a journey with me you either love it are hate it. Anyways Eastbourne was only a quick stopping point before we headed of to an anchorage on the Isle of Wight again the sail down was uneventful no wind smooth sea and a lot of motoring...as we headed for the Isle of Wight we started to run out of tide due to the slow progress using my little old worn out Volvo Penta so we just came out of the main channel and dropped anchor as I’d just about had enough that day and I wasn’t wrecking my engine pushing tide. We sat about for an hour are so had some food checked the engine over and oil levels before setting off again for the planned anchorage ...lots of big ships lurking about here but it was a beautiful night for it .... anyway please don’t be offended as I Chuck a fit on this video as I say we are guys from the street and not your prim and proper sailor ...what you see here is real adventure with real people with nothing to hide.
