The Joys of Cruising

If you ever wonder why the cruising section enjoy their sport so much, see a short video I took in September about 2 hours east of the River Dart, en route to Portland Bill.

    Steve, the Dart is a lovely West Country River (location of Dartmouth Naval College) and just this side of Salcombe. The dolphins appeared 12 miles East of the river, in open water. A gale was forecast, and the feared Portland Bill was in between me and Weymouth (my target port). I came round Portland Bill will 36 knots apparent wind from behind (a good force 8 as I was doing 8-9 knots over the ground). See http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=lZB9EJ2lzww for the “fun bit”.
