After a six week wait, we finally managed to get out on the water with a run over to Bembridge Harbour for a couple of days, even though the temperature was a cool 10 degrees C (with the wind chill it felt more like 6) we decided to brave the elements and go. Its been the coldest April since 1981. There was a brisk Northerly wind blowing F4/5 all weekend (not ideal) but the winter chill is showing now signs of abating and we couldn't wait any longer.  Greek Princess ran well with no problems and it also gave us time to check her out before we start the season proper with the kids.  Its great to be back on the water.
