Having left Portsmouth at 10am with the tide we arrived here bout 3 hours later. In the meantime we inherited a mouse and 2 mackerel. The former was found in a cupboard with the tins of soup and beans, god knows how it got there, our cats must have caught it and we must have put something in the cupboard ?? Who knows.....still we didn't have the heart to throw it in the tide so we gave it a little meal of croissant and some fresh water and he will be taken to Brownsea Island in about an hour via the dinghy and let free to make his new home. Thankfully Bill has offered to inspect the cupboard later to check for droppings and a nest......
Here's the first mackerel :
The views of the Harry rock and the surrounding Jurassic coastline are spectacular.
The weather has been glorious this afternoon and a gin and tonic had to be had, whilst we sunbathed in the cockpit of the boat watching the world go by and the occasional irritating jetskier. Planning to stop at the north end of the island in Poole harbour where the tourists have never been to, to anchor up for the night. I made a large pizza yesterday which will be our evening meal tonight with some salad.
