After a quick breakfast of muesli and fresh fruit, we weigh anchor and depart at 0645 with a good northerly breeze and sunshine. For lunch, we stopped in stunning Lulworth Cove for sandwiches: salami, ham, tomato with mayonnaise on wholemeal bread – yum!
Then onwards towards Portland Harbour where we picked up a buoy and had another supermarket ready meal: this time, Chicken in a cream sauce with fresh broccoli and new potatoes. Ready meals have improved considerably over the last few years and are handy if you’re short of stowage space as we are on A Day at the Races . She was built in 1966 for Sir Owen Aisher and designed for offshore racing rather than gentle cruising. Originally named Yeoman XIV, she is built of teak and has recently been re-varnished and re-painted so is looking rather splendid at the moment.
