Eastern Solent

[andyjcox1]

Hi, on Sunday I am hopefully heading to Guernsey, coming back to Lymington on Tuesday however I am looking for some options for a plan B if the weather doesn't play ball.

I am familiar with lymington, cowes, Yarmouth and everything west of there so would be interested in exploring east for a 3 day trip in a hard cruiser with accommodation on board.

Anyone have any recommendations for 2 guys who like a good pub, some food and something interesting to see.

I was thinking beaulieu river and then ran out of ideas.

Cheers

Into Chichester Harbour is lovely, up to Bosham with the tide, walking on beach at East Head Spit/West Wittering. Various pubs possible depending on where you moor. We spent a couple of days there over the early May bank holiday in our sailing yacht and really enjoyed it.

I quite like Bembridge, a quiet place with a tidal entrance, I vaguely recall berthing seems to have become quite expensive this year. Portsmouth I guess there's plenty to do, loads of pubs/restaurants and numerous berthing options, but isn't my favourite place - a bit too built up for me!

I definitely have Beaulieu towards the top of my list as well!

Thanks Paulbrown22, will take a look at Chichester harbour.

As it's all North or North Easterly wind forecast for Sunday to Tuesday, you could hug the coast to Brighton. It's a nice run and you can always drop in at Portsmouth, Southsea, Chichester and/or Littlehampton on the way there and/or back.

Thanks Trev, I was thinking along the same lines. Hopefully the weather will hold for the Guersey trip but if not I think we will head to Brighton and back stopping in at beaulieu and Chichester along the way.
