Cowes Yacht Haven May 21st & 22nd

With the house move next week we thought we would take the opportunity for a weekend away, so we headed for Cowes. We moored in the Yacht Haven which is just off the High Street so a trip to Henri Lloyd was required. On Saturday the weather was glorious sunny & calm but on Sunday the wind had got up and we had to head back in a Force 7 gusting Force 8.

Managed to time our run to get freeflow in to Port Solent (thank goodness) would not of fancied having to put lines on in the lock in the wind....anyway all back safe.

EASTER WEEKEND ON THE ISLE OF WIDGET

Easter Holiday with Jude and Little Zena 24th -28th April 2011

 The weather was glorious for April 21 degrees and was sunny for the whole 4 days, we managed to get away on the Thursday afternoon which meant we beat the rush out of Port Solent...so no queing for the lock as we left on freeflow. Here's a rare pic of the Captain (only when she say's I am) and the first mate!

Here's the admiral sporting the shades just so we knew it was sunny. Zena has been nagging me to get the blogg updated since the trip but due to moving offices at the end of April and now moving home at the end of the month things have been a little hectic to say the least....so boating has not been that high up the priorty list.

On Good Friday we took the kids to the steam railway at Wooton and here we are enjoying a day out.

 Grandad with the little terrors!!!!!!!!!
