Good weather to get out of the Solent and take a run out to Dartmouth, or across to C-bourg, if one could take time off work . ..

" get out " nothing,, but maybe a good idea to go down and check my ropes ! before duty calls again..

Some months ago I recommended the Crab and Lobster in White Cliff Bay and an interesting anchoring challenge in return for a great lunch. Anyway they tried and well fluffed so ended up going to Bembridge which is a really great place to escape for a few days.
