Well, we had a reasonable start, and managed to navigate our way out of the Solent before the tide turned - so we didn't get stuck at Hurst or the Needles!  Wind has dropped fairly considerably over the last few hours - we at least managed to get past Anvil point on the tide - now just waiting for Portland.
 
Still have some speed over ground.
 
Had supper at the dog watch (1900) and now just waiting for the tide to change.
