Day 3 Day Skipper course

Windy day today, up to a force 8 gale so left Hamble and stay in Southampton water. Am lucky on the Solent, great playground for students, always somewhere to sail, what ever the weather!

Sailed past the Oriana, P&O ship, while she was moored up. More than 400 passengers on a cruise ship were hit by winter vomiting bug norovirus, Southampton's port health authority has confirmed.

Moored up in Ocean village for the night. Hamble, Cowes and then onto Yarmouth for day 4.
