Passage to Poole


We got a good view of Hurst Castle as we passed through the narrows which bought back fond memories of a holiday we spent in the area several years ago.


A couple of Sunsail racing yachts followed us with spinnakers flying. It was fairly misty all day, and we could only just see the Needles, having decided to use the North channel route.


Sue knew of an anchorage in Poole harbour that she was keen to re-visit, so once through the entrance to Poole harbour, having evaded the chain ferry, we proceeded down 'South Deep' to Goat Horn point. This turned out to be a wonderful, peaceful place, with the slight mist adding to the atmosphere.


After supper we launched the dinghy, and explored the creeks for a while before returning to 'NJ' to plan the next days passage to Weymouth.


The visibility was much better in the morning, and we managed to get a good view of 'Old Harry Rocks'
