Wednesday the plan is to arrive at Hamble Point Marina on the evening of Wednesday 2nd June for a meal in a local pub.
Thursday we will set off early on Thursday morning to catch the tide, sailing west out of the Solent. It's a beautifully scenic route, passing Hurst Castle and the iconic Needles lighthouse, before leaving the Solent and cruising along the quintessentially English white cliffs of the Jurassic coast, before entering Poole Harbour - allegedly the largest inland harbour in Europe. Passing through the narrow entrance, we will pass Sandbanks - one of the UK's most desirable and expensive locations to live, and Brownsea Island - owned by National Trust which famously hosted Lord Baden Powell's inaugural Scout camp in 1907. Poole is a historic and fun place to go out - with plenty of lively restaurants and bars for us to choose from for a night out.
On Friday morning, we sail west from Poole, past the stunning chalk cliffs of Old Harry's Rocks, dropping anchor in Chapman's Pool for lunch, and eventually arriving at Weymouth - a gorgeous seaside town that has been favoured by English holidaymakers ever since the Victorians.
On Saturday morning, we start our return journey east, stopping for lunch in the fascinating geographical formation that is Lulworth Cove with the possibility of a swim for our hardiest sailors!
