Easter Cruise to Yarmouth & East Cowes 2nd to 7th April 2013

Our Maiden Cruise of 2013, we headed to Yarmouth IOW on Tuesday 2nd of April for a few days, it was still 3deg with cold NE blowing F4/5, we had the wind and tide behind us so the passage was fine, however shortly after arriving the wind got up blowing F7 making it very uncomfortable in Yarmouth Harbour. We stopped for two nights but it was so bad we finally made a break for the shelter of East Cowes, so glad we did as we were both beginning to feel quite ill......never go to Yarmouth when blowing a N/NE.....its does say this in the almanac.
