    Cobnor

    Cobnor Camp is a two-week event with a very loose programme put on by the DCA Southern region. It wanders all over Chichester Harbour, dependent on the tide, and participants can join in as much or as little as they wish.

    A very lovely time was had sailing in this new spot, and a chance was taken, in the evenings, to catch up with University friends who live locally, one of whom is in charge of all the moorings and channel upon which we were based. There were visits to East Head, Pilsey Island, Thorney Channel, Chichester Marina.

    We trailed Odd Times II and Sparklefarts (the tender) and launched at Itchenor and moored at Cobnor with a night or two on a mooring in Bosham.

    End of Easter & DCA South Raid

    Fab weekend of strong winds on Friday and no wind on Saturday. A blast around the Solent and Soton water was followed by a intentional but unplanned stop over in the Hamble next to With Alacrity and dinner at the RAF YC. A sucessful first night in the boat with the support of WA next door and a superbe cup of tea and bacon sandwich in the monring before a drift down to Warsash to join the DCA South rally to Ashlett (in our case back to base)

    It was fun playing frogger and an engine was really welcome compared to the hardcore that rowed across. An hour or two at the Jolly Sailor and we bid them farewell as they headed back with a small sea breeze to help this time.

    We chilled and then Sunday went just out of the creek in a mill pond to wash off the mud before recovering the boat and a washdown!
