Dog day sailing

Perfect sailing days arrive unexpectedly like a good friend calling round for a few pints on a wet Tuesday. Autumn in the UK can bring just such delights this month was no exception.

I had seven days of superb October idling on Chichester harbour, with the sun shining most of the time and a generous but manageable easterly or northerly.

What more can one ask for? Nothing is the short answer.

Here are some snaps taken by Mark who, being Australian, declined the Sunday 8am cruise undertaken by myself and my brother in the delightful RS Vision on the grounds that it was 'too bloody cold'.

I particularly like the thoughtful swan composition.
