Monday 7 PM I departed for Beaconsfield anchoring between BYC and Lord Reading after the Windmill point race. The supper was a steak that had been sitting in the fridge for a few days.
Tuesday morning, I sailed a lot around from 11 to 7 in quite strong winds - single-handed. Initially, I had the full 155 on broad reaches, then reefed as I closed hauls and later the winds decreased and I unfurled. I sailed around the lighthouse and decided not to return to the club and sailed out again circulating around Dowkers and then went to PCYC. I asked Sylvie to meet me at PCYC tomorrow.
I docked in PCYC. Nobody was there and I charged my drained batteries overnight. Did a visit to Gigi pizzeria to get a menu. Supper.
Wednesday morning, Sylvie met me at PCYC and we had a delightful sail in very light winds. I had a head of lettuce and made a basic salad for lunch. We sailed around till 18h when I did a touch-and-go docking at PCYC dropped Sylvie and motored to the sandbars for a fabulous sunset with butter chicken.
I sailed from Sandbars to the gut and motor back to the club on Thursday morning. I biked home and did a guided tour of Falaise St. Jacques and did groceries at Arkavan. I worked at home unit 4 and biked back to the club for the Vendee Globe presentation. I slept aboard.
