Great pictures. We were hoping to be there but the weather forecast looked dodgy so decided not to go - sorry Alan! It does look like it was bumpy out there and Richard wouldn't have been good company as he spent yesterday moping around, complaining about his cold! Will try again in 4 years' time!!
It certainly was! More to do with the wakes from all the boats following the yachts than the usual solent slop. We didn't follow past Cowes, as the wind would have meant banging into head on chop all the way to the needles. On the way back to Portsmouth it was a lot smoother.
Are you going out to see the finish of Leg 1? Sort of local to where you are, isn't it?
